<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4569324, member: 2844&quot;]Late to the party, sorry about that.</p><p>But.... did anyone see this thread:</p><p><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/georgian-pendant.72328/#post-4512751" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/georgian-pendant.72328/#post-4512751">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/georgian-pendant.72328/#post-4512751</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Exactly the same pendant, with replacements in the same places. So I guess Fionna didn&#039;t buy it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is not a croix Jeannette, which is a plain cross suspended from a plain heart pendant. Those crosses were bought on the feast day of St John, hence the name croix Jeannette (John = Jean), without the &quot;à la&quot;. It is a French cross style. I notice the Belgians have added à la, but that is not the original name.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been wondering about the configuration, btw, with the butterfly as central element below the round element. You only see that in earrings of the period, imo.</p><p>I have been browsing through my &#039;bible&#039; of Dutch period jewellery (&quot;Juwelen en mensen&quot; by M.H. Gans), and similar earrings were made in The Netherlands as well. Pendants too, but in a different configuration.</p><p>I&#039;ll add this info to the other thread as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
