Vintage 2.90ct Sapphire and Platinum Cross Pendant Circa 1950

1940 - 1960
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive vintage 2.90 carat sapphire and platinum cross pendant; part of our diverse sapphire jewellery collection.

This stunning, fine and impressive vintage cross pendant has been crafted in platinum.

This vintage pendant has a Latin cross design, ornamented to the centre with a feature four-claw set 2.90ct octagonal cut Ceylon sapphire.

The plain platinum crossbars bear a subtle planished finish.

This vintage sapphire pendant suspends from an 18ct white gold 18' chain via an integrated scrolling ring loop to the upper border of the design; the chain secures with a conventional spring-loaded bolt ring fastening.

The cross shaped frame is hallmarked to the reverse with the platinum fineness mark (PLATIN) and the maker's mark (FW).

This impressive blue sapphire necklace is supplied with a sapphire report card and certificate supplied by the Gemmological Certification Services, London*.

Such examples set with large untreated Ceylon sapphires are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.

A vintage platinum sapphire cross pendant embodies timeless elegance and spiritual significance. Ideal for collectors of religious or vintage jewellery, it makes a meaningful gift for christenings, confirmations, birthdays or anniversaries.

NOTE: * This documentation accredits the sapphire originating in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and certifies that the gemstone shows no indications of heating.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

Condition

This impressive vintage cross pendant is exceptional quality, set with a stunning sapphire displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

The pendant is a superior gauge of platinum and is in exceptional condition, with clear hallmarks to the reverse of the setting.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this stunning vintage sapphire cross pendant in platinum.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Mid-century cross pendants from the 1950s often combined traditional iconography with streamlined metalworking, clean geometric contours, and high-grade precious gemstones.

Authentic mid-century fine jewellery commonly utilises solid platinum or high-karat gold settings paired with natural gemstones such as sapphires, diamonds, or rubies.

Look for period-appropriate hallmarks indicating metal purity, examine gemstone cut consistency under magnification, and evaluate hand-finished details around the bail and settings.

A platinum sapphire cross pendant can serve as a focal point when paired with understated necklines or layered alongside fine platinum chains for modern versatility.

Store the pendant in a fabric-lined box away from other items, and gently clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush to maintain metal lustre and gemstone clarity.
