The ‘croix badine’ is an iconic piece of jewellery originating from Occitanie. Traditionally, the finest examples are set with garnets, a stone particularly prized in jewellery from the South-West. This piece owes its name to its lower section, known as the ‘badine’, referring to the slight swaying motion it makes when worn.
