This pendant brooch I could not leave for a incredibly low price.
In my opinion it is a very old piece given the method of setting the stones. After checking to be tiny diamonds (senailles) were found to be set in silver. The back and upper and lower part of this piece of gold.
Because my fantastic pendant a la Jeanette (already showed here some two years ago see link:

What you have is the top half of an 18th century French silver cross. The sides and bottom have been broken off and the brooch fitting has been added much later. You'll find a picture of the exact same cross (but intact), on my website

The photo was given to me by the dealer whose name you'll find when you click on the photo, I have no idea if it is still for sale. Marc

French-jewellery-fan,
Dear Mark,
Sorry it took some time before I could answer. I am really very grateful to you because you have shown me the right way to discover that my cross pendant is not quite complete. It is fantastic to learn so much more about the jewelry on your sitefrom France and Belgium which I also have some in my possession.
Just like you, I am actually all my life (from adulthood) mesmerized by jewelry and an avid collector. But as I discovered once again a man is never stop learning, even in antique jewelry.
You have limited time and I understand that, but you'd still like to look at my jewelry from France last. Especially the brooch with the secret compartment intrigues me, but I am nothing came to know about it.
Once again thank you very much and I hope that we may enjoy collectors also occasionally your knowledge and expertise here at CW.
