Vintage Sterling Silver Scrollwork Cross Pendant Black Cabochon Gothic Revival Artisan

This heavy sterling silver pendant reflects the intricate metalwork of the Gothic and Byzantine revival movements. Crafted by an unknown artisan, the piece utilizes looping silver wirework and traditional granulation techniques to frame a central black glass cabochon. The substantial 10-gram silver weight grounds the delicate scrollwork, making it a highly collectible piece of vintage religious or statement jewelry. Its unmarked nature suggests a studio or local silversmith origin, adding to the singular appeal of the design.
