[QUOTE="Dessert58, post: 4710930, member: 78465"][ATTACH=full]412918[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412923[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412917[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412916[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412922[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412923[/ATTACH] I found this beautiful cross pendant online and it came to me from my own country, Belgium. I really liked it because it is still a quality piece, although its just a simplified design and the stones are just glass, instead of the old cut diamonds it would have had if it were a real Flemish cross pendant. You can see some of my Flemish pendants where I think the maker of this cross got his inspiration from, although these are older, have a much better degree of detail and have foiled back senailles as stones, which is very labour-intensive to produce. I believe this cross is made around 1900 or a bit later, and am I right to believe it could have been made by The Parisian Diamond Company or a similar firm? I noticed they also made their own version of a Flemish Heart pendant. (That illustration is not my own). What are your opinions?[/QUOTE]
