Vintage 18k Yellow Gold Handcrafted 2.25ctw Natural Colombian Emerald Spanish Cross Pendant

Out of the many years I have been doing this I have only been lucky enough to find these rare mid-century South American handcrafted cross pendants a handful of times. Though I have seen them at the high end jewelry shows for several thousand dollars I usually don’t get blessed enough to purchase them for a good deal, like you have the chance to right now.  The last one I saw that was the exact same size and specs as this one the dealer was asking $2500 and wouldn’t take any less. Made out of an 18k yellow gold the top of the cross has been all hand chase engraved throughout the center area against a high polish towards the outside giving that 3d like effect of bursting sun rays. Bezel set with just over 2.25ctw of 7 all natural large  square and emerald cut Colombian emeralds. Fashioned after a similar style cross that was found upon the atocha shipwreck this is a beautiful and sought after piece. With a total weight of 5.2g the cross itself measures around 2” x 1.2” and has a great presence while it comfortably sits on the chest.
