{"product_id":"19th-century-italian-cruciform-brooch","title":"19th Century Italian Cruciform Brooch","description":"\u003cp\u003eStriking antique cruciform brooch made in Italy in the early 1800s. Inspired by regal jewels from the preceding centuries, pieces like this are now categorised as traditional or \"provincial\" jewellery and were championed by the likes of the Castellani firm later on in the 19th century. It's set with natural baroque pearls atop volcano-like bezel mounts and flat-cut purplish garnets. The back is beautifully engraved, and someone has added two lengths of chain so it can be worn as a pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Georgian, circa 1800\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 4.2cm by 4.1cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStones: Garnet \u0026amp; \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/lostowl.com\/blogs\/gemstones\/pearl\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePearl\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarks: None, tested as silver and 9ct gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good antique condition; wear consistent with age and use.
