Description: | A silver setting with a circular stone, possibly rose quartz. The setting consists of a cross shaped base with the stone at the centre. The arms of the cross are of similar length and slightly flared. The central setting is circular and undecorated, measuring 7.56mm in diameter. The stone itself is very worn, and the polished surface has been removed. It has a pinkish hue, therefore may be rose quartz. There is no obvious method of attachment of the setting to another part of the object, such as loops or solder. The reverse is flat with some shallow scratch marks. The terminals of the cross are worn and rounded. Although one terminal is possibly broken, the break is well worn. The object is probably modern in date. It is possibly a piece from a jewellery fitting. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1750
