Charming little early 19th century french diamond St Esprit charm.
Set all over with rose cut diamonds in silver settings and backed in 18 carat gold.
 
She looks great worn on a fine gold chain, or even on an earring!
 
"Saint Esprit" translates to "Holy Ghost," and the dove is a Christian symbol of the Holy Spirit. The dove holding a branch can also evoke the story of Noah's ark, representing reconciliation with God.
Historical context: St. Esprit jewels were popular religious icons in the late 18th century, with many examples from the Georgian and Victorian eras.
