About the Item
An antique Victorian pocket watch chain set with rubies, a T-bar, and tassels pendant - a striking piece of jewelry from the Victorian era, this chain is typically dating from the mid to late 19th century.
The chain is made of 9ct gold and the links are intricately crafted, featuring an elaborate pattern that are characteristic of the Victorian period. The chain's rose gold sliders are adorned with rubies, which add a vibrant splash of pinkish color and elegance. The chain is also adorned with leaves as part of the decorative motifs of the chain.
The T-bar or toggle, is attached near the beautiful swinging tassels, this horizontal bar helps secure the chain to a vest or waistcoat.

Antique Spanish Ruby and 18 Karat Gold Chain Cross Pendant
Located in Rotterdam, NL
This stunning 18-karat gold filigree link-wired cross pendant, originating from Spain, is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The cross is intricately made using delicate filigree wirework, where fine gold wires are twisted and shaped into an elaborate, lace-like design, typical of Spanish artisan jewelry. At the center of the cross sits a striking carré-cut ruby, its deep red hue providing a beautiful contrast to the golden filigree. The clean, sharp lines of the carré cut enhance the ruby’s brilliance, drawing the eye to the centerpiece of the pendant.
In Spain, the cross is a deeply significant symbol, representing the country's long-standing Christian heritage. Historically, crosses have been used as symbols of faith, protection, and devotion. Spanish crosses often reflect the strong cultural and religious traditions of Catholicism, with designs ranging from simple, rustic styles to highly ornate, intricate pieces like this one. Cross pendants are frequently worn as both religious expressions and protective charms, signifying the wearer’s faith and connection to their spiritual beliefs.
