Featured It is becoming a growing new collection... Cross pendant!

The set was a very lucky find... The Bressans enamels needed some repairs
The Bressans turquoise color one too, it was tricky to match the color the stones are glass!

 

I think I've posted both mine before. I need to go fish out some of the others, don't I. I am drooling over these.

 

Me too! I just realized I didn't show the result of cleaning... I add too a Templar Knights of Montesa pendant I LOVE

 

Along with kyras New purchase, I think your middle one, is my favourite out of all of them, perfect design

 

Any Jewelry,
You left cross with the garnets has a resemblance to my own Austro Hungarian cross. Could you tell me what the back looks like?
We might have each others cross-twin!

 

The micro mosaic ones are my favorites. Such delicate and colorful art!

 

It's on its way, I found a file with much better photos of only that AH Slovakian cross, which I have to resize. Off for a late lunch now.

 

You'll love these I just caught on EBay as a lot! Some new kyratisation post to come soon
My favorite is the red one with the dove, it is the older too



Lacking tesserae hole was "completed" by gluing a "sapphire"

 

The cross style is roughly the same, with those intermediate decorations. (There is a name for the type of cross) But I think yours is more elegant, mine, with the crimped settings, is a bit more 'folksy', for lack of a better word.
The front:


This one has a better view of the Jugendstil-inspired bail, a sign of the period:


The back, very plain for AH:

 

Too much coincidences for us 3... Time to do a DNA testing

 

The things this thread makes you do.

Looking forward.

Of course, as you do. At least it is reversible, and I'm sure you'll do an invisible repair.

 

Agree.

 

Kyratango, I would love to see how you repair the micro mosaic!
I have done some minor repairs by applying glue to some tesserae chips and sorting them in the place they are lacking, but nothing this big.

Any Jewelry, thank you very much for the pictures.
The back looks totally different to the one I have! mine has round, closed back settings. Also not as detailed as usual AH:

 

cross fever strikes again

The kyratisation won't be invisible but cosmetic and far less noticeable, as on the big Chi Rho which had big lacks!

 

And a few decades older than mine.

True, more 'mainstream', but they made many styles. Always love those closed backs, although there is something to say for open ones.

Looks good though, and invisible if you consider the actual size.

 

I just looked at Dessert's complete forum name, and I think we could be the same age. You are around the same age too, kyra, aren't you? Makes you think.... My long lost triplet sisters!

 

Oh LA LA.... I'm certainly not that patient to play with those TINY devilish tesserae
My repairs for micro mosaic are made by filling the lacks with polymer clay, baked then colored with nail art acrylic paint and permanent markers.... When I say cosmetic...
This pendant needed dangles, made them same way

 

I just turned the big 4 a few months ago...which I successfully tried to wash away with some splendid jewelry purchases.
Buying jewelry works even better than alcohol or even chocolate

 

Ha! That would be sooo sweeeet
I'm 64 now, years went so quickly

 

Oohh, you are a young girl, dear
For me, it is the whole combination of the 3 sins which works best
