Story
A classic example of mid-19th century American jewelry, this antique gold and black enamel tracery cross pendant is a marvel of texture and design.
In 10k rose gold, inky coal black enamel decorates the front surface including scrolls, "S" curves, and flowers. These designs cavort amid a textured, dimpled surface.
Hollow, it is a mid-size, suitable for daily wear with a plain, polished back.
Note: Taille d'epargne is an enamel technique where fine channels are created in metal and filled with enamel, often opaque black. This method created subtle design details and was favored in the US during the mid and later part of the 19th century.
