Gold Cross Pendants w/ Diamonds & Sapphire

[photoworks]

These two crosses were passed on to me by my late grandmother...

There are no hallmarks whatsoever on them, at least none that I can percept.

The work on these two crosses is so intricate and beautiful, and it looks like they are very old.

Can anyone help me identify their origins please?

The gold is a dark yellow colour so I would guess they are in 22 or 24ct gold.

The stones look like rough cut diamonds, and center sapphire.

Please help.

Those are beautiful!! I'm going to guess they are Indian or Greek or somewhere in that area. They are hand finished. Last guess is they are from the 1930s-1040s.

My rationale? Eastern European pieces frequently are set with rose cut or polki stones. The gold used for those pieces are also made using a higher carat gold. It is easier to hand work. I don't know if these kind of pieces are completely hand made, or start with a cast rough piece and then hand set and finished.

My opinion only. I hope you cherish and wear them frequently. I love them!!

They're both very beautiful! I sincerely hope you're able to determine their origin.
