Vittore Pendant - 18K Gold Plated
Description
Based on an original relic cross that Olivia, our founder, sourced at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, the Vittore Pendant is an equal sided golden cross which broadens at the outer tips. The bail is formed from a hand-carved mould that she created in her studio.
An exemplar of powerful symbolism which has pollinated across cultures and times, this cross pendant is named for the painter Vittore Carpaccio. His 1505 painting has Christ in the foreground and a depiction of Poliphilo’s dreamscape in the rear. Like Cleopatra’s Bling with our signature melding of time, space and symbolic references, the painting appears built on the otherworldly logic of a dream.

Jewellery Care
What to know about 18k Gold-Plated jewellery ?
Our 18k Gold-Plated jewellery is coated with 1.5 microns of rich, 18k gold. While 18k gold plating is beautiful and, thanks to the skill of our artisans, relatively durable, it is in the nature of any plated object that it will naturally wear over time.
The better care is provided your 18k Gold-Plated jewellery, the longer the period it will retain its excellent condition.
Items that have experienced wearing can often be replated for a small fee. Contact us for more information.
How to store 18k Gold-Plated jewellery ?
To protect your 18k Gold-Plated jewellery, store it in a completely dry place, away from direct sunlight. For added protection, store it in an anti-tarnish pouch or case.
How to clean 18k Gold-Plated jewellery ?
Gently wipe your pieces with a soft cloth or toothbrush to remove dirt and residue. Avoid using any polish, as it can wear away the delicate gold plating.
