Konstantino Sterling Silver and 18k Gold Cross Pendant with Pearl and Diamonds

This is a meticulously crafted Byzantine-inspired cross pendant by the renowned Greek designer Konstantino. The piece features a complex, multi-layered construction typical of the brand's signature aesthetic. The foundation is rendered in high-quality sterling silver, displaying intricately hand-etched scrollwork and floral motifs along the outer edges and the ornate bale. Superimposed upon the silver base is a central 18k yellow gold cross that has been finely engraved with a repeating feather or foliage pattern. At the true center of the piece sits a single, lustrous white cultured pearl, while the four terminals of the gold cross are each set with a small, round brilliant-cut diamond housed within raised gold bezels. The pendant is attached to a decorative, articulating bale designed to accommodate a thick chain. The overall style is reminiscent of ancient Hellenic and Byzantine jewelry, likely dating from the early 21st century. The condition appears excellent with a natural dark patina in the recessed areas of the silver, which serves to emphasize the depth of the metalwork. No missing stones or significant structural damage are visible, asserting high quality craftsmanship and material integrity.
