Vintage Citrine and Garnet Gothic Cross Pendant
A vintage gothic revival cross pendant — the perfect addition to your sea witch fall wardrobe.
This emerald cut citrine lets in plenty of light, a window pane to the colors beneath. I love stones that let the wearer’s skin shine through. It’s a striking contrast between the impenetrable blood red color of the garnets.
A subtle sea green patina on the sterling silver setting and imperceptible chip on the corner of the center citrine only lends to it gothic aesthetic, adding the kind of authenticity of age you can’t replicate.
