This amazing crucifix was hand made some time between 1904 and 1932. Hand crafted in 15ct gold, and adorned with old cut garnets and seed pearls this was a devotion to craft and religion and it is in remarkably good condition for its approx 100 years of age. 15ct gold is one of our favourites - really old (not made since 1932) and because of its scarcity and age - we love it even more. Made by Willis and Sons in Victoria - their unicorn hallmark is possibly the most easily recognised Early Australian mark - and we love it - because like all antique treasures they literally are jewellery unicorns - stunning, filled with history and myths, and you will never find another one the same. 

This pendant would look amazing on a velvet choker (just saying).

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
