"Jane's" Crystal Cross Necklace

"He has received £30 for his share of the privateer and expects £10 more - but of what avail is it to take prizes if he lays out the produce in presents to his Sisters. He has been buying Gold chains and Topaz Crosses for us; - he must be well scolded." -Jane Austen to Cassandra May, 1801 Gemstone crosses were ever popular during the Regency, as can been seen from the Austen quote and her necklace which is on display at Chawton Cottage. This yellow CZ crystal cross measures just .75" tall; arrives with an 18" gold tone chain reminds me of the type worn by the Austen sisters (see third image).
