Ethiopian Filigree Cross Necklace, Gold Rosette Pendant

This Ethiopian filigree cross shows traditional Ethiopian goldsmithing at its most delicate: fine twisted gold wire coiled into scrollwork covers each arm, wrapped around a central star-rosette medallion. Diamond-shaped tips at the end of each arm complete a silhouette that's both graphic and refined. The pendant measures 12.5 x 7.5cm and weighs 90g, with a gold-color finish that brings out the relief of the filigree and the play of light across each scroll. It hangs from a twisted mesh-link chain measuring 38cm, extended by a 6cm chain, in the same golden tone, for a cohesive look from the neckline to the pendant. This bold piece works equally well as an accessory for weddings and traditional celebrations or as a meaningful gift for someone connected to their Ethiopian or Eritrean heritage.
