Antique Victorian 14K Yellow Gold Carved Lapis Etruscan Revival Cross Pendant

An original Victorian Etruscan Revival cross crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, featuring a striking arrangement of natural lapis lazuli individually carved into three-dimensional pyramid cuts. The rich cobalt-blue lapis creates a dramatic contrast against the warm gold, while intricate applied granulation and beaded borders give the piece the unmistakable archaeological-inspired character associated with the Etruscan Revival movement. Substantial in both scale and construction, the cross has a bold presence while retaining the hand-finished detail and individuality expected of a genuine period jewel. Remarkably, the piece remains in near-perfect condition, particularly impressive considering its age, with visible original patina throughout the gold that has intentionally been left intact and contributes beautifully to its authentic period character.
