Apollo Speaks
On this piece
☉
A Maltese cross in gold plate, built around flawed emerald-green Gripoix-style glass cabochons and ringed with ruby red and sapphire blue — the Jewels of India collection at its most dimensional. The collection this piece leads was featured in Judith Miller's Costume Jewelry on page 119, which notes that Madonna wore pieces from it in Evita. It is signed on the reverse with the Crown Trifari mark and a copyright, and measures 2 7/8 inches wide by 2 7/8 inches tall. Exceptional vintage condition, and looking as though it has never been worn.
