Amethyst and natural pearl double sided cross pendant for Day 8 of the 12 Days of Christmas Virtual Art & Antiques ShowAmerican Arts & Crafts jeweler Edward Everett Oakes believed the back of a jewel must be as beautiful as the front and sometimes designed double sided jewels like this cross pendant. Who doesn’t love a jewel that can be worn in different ways? He also liked to incorporate oak leaves as a play on his last name. https://www.incollect.com/twelvedays-day8
