A rare and beautifully preserved example of Art Nouveau jewelry, perfect for collectors of mourning jewelry, Victorian and Art Nouveau antiques, or anyone who appreciates sentimental heirloom pieces.
A breathtaking masterpiece of early 20th-century Spanish haute joaillerie, this authentic Art Deco openwork cross is an exceptional monument to European design. At the beating heart of the piece sits a masterfully vibrant, saturated square emerald-cut green emerald, meticulously secured in a low-profile bezel setting. The central crucifix is beautifully layered over an architectural, geometric diamond-set "sunburst" openwork web gallery that allows light to completely flood the stones from behind. The entire silhouette, including the stylized geometric articulated bail, is pavé-set with shimmering diamonds, creating a magnificent lace-like effect against the skin.
Presented in immaculate condition, this museum-grade heirloom retains its original custom-made, silk-and-velvet fitted presentation box stamped by the legendary elite house of Joyería Bagués, Paseo de Gracia, Barcelona. Founded in 1839, Bagués remains one of Spain's oldest and most prestigious luxury firms, making an intact, boxed archival piece like this an extraordinary, fully traceable acquisition for a discerning fine jewelry collector.

The Stanhope viewer, invented in the mid-19th century, is a tiny optical lens that magnifies a microscopic photograph mounted within the jewelry. These remarkable microphotographs, often depicting famous landmarks, religious scenes, portraits, naughty photos or sentimental messages, were popular Victorian souvenirs and keepsakes. Combining innovative optics with fine jewelry, Stanhope pieces are among the most fascinating novelty jewels of the Victorian era and remain highly sought after by collectors today.
