Victorian Gold Cross Pendant with Green Ivy Leaves, Chester 1896 Hallmarked

Some pieces whisper stories, others quietly shout. This marvelous gold cross falls somewhere in between, a perfect symbol of devotion and quiet elegance. With its rosy-hued 9 karat yellow gold, it radiates warmth and serenity, but the delicate green ivy leaves, gently clinging to the surface, speak of a love that endures. English ivy, after all, was once a symbol of affection—'I cling to thee'—a sentiment woven into the very design. Imagine it worn by someone from the 1890s, an intimate token of loyalty and steadfast devotion, gracing the neckline of someone with a deep-rooted connection to its meaning.

Measuring 43.3 mm north to south and 24.2 mm across, this cross is crafted in 9 karat gold, with a matte finish, and bears full English hallmarks for Chester, 1896, along with '9' and '.375.' The maker’s mark 'W.J.I' is proudly displayed, marking its origin in a time when sentimentality was key. At 2.2 grams, it’s perfectly balanced, with a thickness of 3.7 mm, delicate yet substantial enough to hold its place in your heart.

It’s more than a cross; it’s a testament to love, faith, and connection—enduring, timeless, and quietly beautiful.
