Victorian Marie Antoinette’s cross pearl necklace
This is an English piece in a rare design of Marie Antoinette’s cross. The half pearls are paved exquisitely. With golden pellets extending all the way to the chain, this exquisite necklace is now waiting for a new wearer who would like to wear the history on her neck.
Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) is one of history's most iconic and luxurious queens. Her fashionable taste has a profound impact on the entire European continent. Even centuries later, her influence on jewelry remains unshakeable. Marie-Antoinette would add a knot above a cross that she was particularly fond of, thus renaming the cross style.
