NORTHERN EUROPEAN CONVERT’S CROSS NECKLACE, 9th-10th CENTURY

Description

The emergence from the Dark Ages is embodied in the rise to power of the Frankish King, Charlemagne in 768 (founder of the Holy Roman Empire after 800) followed by conquering southern Europe from France to Italy and much of Northern Europe. The condition for peace was acceptance of Christianity, under penalty of death. Conversion was effective and Northern Europeans, primarily Saxons, wore small crosses to affirm their Christianity. This example is under 1" in height (0.97") with a centered cross beam and a recessed diamond at the junction, on each side. The beams have swelled medials and terminals. Quite smooth glossy surface throughout. Professionally refurbished with 24karat gold overlay restored on an 18" gilt sterling silver neck chain for modern wear.
