Description

Introducing our antique Victorian 1890 tortoiseshell piqué cross. This exquisite heirloom piece is a testament to the fine craftsmanship of the Victorian era. The large cross is made with tortoiseshell piqué that looks stunning with its gold and silver inlay. 


The pendant hangs from a delicate gold chain, which adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design. The pendant itself is a work of art, with intricate details and a beautiful contrast between the black pique work and the gold and silver dots.


Piqué (pronounced "pee-kay") is a decorative technique that involves inlaying tiny metal dots or lines into a surface to create intricate patterns or designs. This technique was popularised in the late 18th century and was particularly popular in the Victorian era. Piqué work was commonly used to decorate jewelry, particularly inlaid on top of tortoiseshell or other materials. In jewelry, the technique involves making tiny holes in the surface of the base material, such as metal, and then inserting small pieces of gold, silver or other precious metals into the holes to create a decorative design. The result is a beautiful, textured pattern that adds depth and dimension to the piece.

What Our Customers Say:

Beautiful jewellery & excellent customer service I have bought two ring necklaces from Mayveda with different colour sapphires, & they are such pretty & unique pieces. Beautifully made & lovely quality. Tiffany is also an absolute gem, if I've had queries or needed any help, she's been brilliant. Highly recommend Mayveda for beautiful, unique jewellery!

Beautiful jewellery & excellent customer service

Absolutely delighted! Purchased as a birthday present for my mum, who lost one very similar many years ago. The vintage silver bracelet arrived within a few days. Mayveda gift wrapped it beautifully and even provided extra wrapping, allowing me to check the bracelet and re-wrap! They even provided a silver cleaning cloth so I could choose whether to present it in its original condition or sparkling silver.

Delighted with my purchase!

I purchased some pieces of antique Jewellery from MAYVEDA. Tiffany has a special kind of magic herself and makes the sale simple and straightforward. She individually wraps each item beautifully and separately. I have purchased from MAYVEDA before and return because of the “second to none” service I receive and recommend MAYVEDA to anyone wanting beautiful antique jewellery. Thank you again for your kindness Tiffany.
