A delightfully feminine Edwardian sterling silver Canterbury Cross fob, this piece was once worn on a lady's watch chain but she's now a pendant which you can adore and wear daily.
With good clear hallmarks for 1911 this charming Celtic style cross is beautifully engraved in a lovely floral pattern of forget-me-nots. A very decorative piece it has lovely cut-out accents with a double bale at the top connected to a thick D-shaped jump ring and then a large jump so it hangs perfectly. A gently domed cartouche in the centre means that you could choose to engrave this piece for a personal touch!
Crosses in every shape and form were a very popular jewellery motif in Victorian and Edwardian Britain and this one is a particularly pretty example. A very sweet piece of antique jewellery and a classic amulet!
The pendant can be purchased with or without the new sterling silver necklace chain. Our chains are made in Italy and are fine quality. Please note the 'Albertina' bracelet shown is not included but is available for purchase separately.
