This stunning filigree "Croix de Flandres" also called "à la Jeannette" or the papillon cross is part of regional jewellery made between the 18th and early 19th century. This butterfly cross is crafted in 18k rose gold and set with stunning rose (Antwerp) cut diamonds. Its butterfly name ,papillon, comes from the delicate lightness of the intertwining that make up this jewel, like the wings of butterflies.


We love this beautiful pendant since we prefer jewellery which tells a story. Just like this cross that was carried by the richest and most influential Belgians. This pendant is also handmade like all jewellery from the 18th and 19th centuries. That only makes it easier for us to love it. The decorations of the pendant are extremely beautiful and the appearance is very strong and at the same time warm and full of love. In short, the perfect jewel to protect you and to provide you with a statement jewel to deny you.
