The Renaissance Cross draws from the grandeur of the Renaissance era—a time when jewelry flourished in opulence, crafted for monarchs and nobility. Unlike the raw forms of medieval design, Renaissance artisans mastered techniques like enameling, embossing, and filigree to create intricate, luxurious pieces.
This cross is inspired by one worn by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, one of the most iconic figures of the period. A symbol of power, artistry, and divine authority, its original form now rests in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York—this piece reimagines its splendor for the modern age.
