Victorian Smoky Quartz Gold Cross Pendant Large

Victorian smoky quartz and 18k yellow gold cross pendant circa 1880. *

Scroll down for specifications.  At 3 ½ inches long, this is a larger scale cross.  Despite that, there are plenty of delicate and beautiful details embellishing the design.  Just look at the fine, scrolling filigree details around the middle of the cross.  All of it is meticulously milgrained.  And what about the bezels with all those delicate prongs holding onto those large smoky quartz stones?  It is an amazing interplay of elements and visual delight. It's in beautiful condition not polished just lightly cleaned and ready to wear or gift.
