Alexiad

A lacy, solid gold filigree is set with Emeralds, Rubies and a heart of Sapphire.  Delicate hands have expertly crafted intricate wirework which continues onto the bale of this elegantly shaped 18K yellow gold Byzantine style Greek Orthodox cross.

Scrolling and open design, a narrative of color, flowing form and light captured in the intricacies of this precious jewel, named after a personal historical account of an Empire, written by Anna Komnene, Byzantine Princess.  The motifs of her Alexiad as intricate as this heirloom gem.  Available in three sizes.
