Description More about this product

Handcrafted with exceptional artistry, this Art Deco–style Portuguese cross showcases the timeless elegance and craftsmanship for which Portuguese jewelry is renowned. The pendant features intricate floral motifs, each element meticulously shaped by hand to create a harmonious and richly decorative design. Portuguese goldsmithing is celebrated for its use of high-quality gold, and this piece is no exception—crafted in 19 karat gold, it reflects both durability and a warm, luxurious glow.

At the center of the cross sits a captivating 0.40 ct cabochon-cut emerald, bezel-set to highlight its smooth surface and vibrant green color. The emerald draws the eye immediately, providing a striking contrast to the detailed goldwork surrounding it.

The pendant incorporates traditional techniques such as delicate filigree and openwork patterns, giving the piece lightness, texture, and a sense of depth. The combination of flowing floral lines, hand-tooled details, and refined symmetry embodies the charm of Art Deco design while remaining true to the rich heritage of Portuguese jewelry craftsmanship.

This exquisite pendant is not only a beautiful adornment but also a fine example of cultural artistry, blending historic techniques with elegant aesthetics to create a truly unique and timeless piece.
