First two re-posts from the short-lived but intense "Bling-Wars" between Carolina and me:
Two pectoral crosses from the treasure of San Gennaro in NapoliThen two gems that belonged to bishop Irigoyen of Pamplona (1768 to 1778):
His pectoral cross...
... and his ring.Then some episcopal rings from the middle ages, which are kept in the Cluny Museum:
Finally three rings that I couldn't dentify:
This one with the amethyst has got to be my favorite one!
You also might want to go to this page, which has a whole lot of pics of pectoral crosses and episcopal rings, albeit very small ones...

for the small pics in the page linked, right click over pic, copy shortcut, paste, change photosmin.php by photosmax.php, and voila!
if you cannot get the shortcut, just right click, properties, then copy the url. Paste, etc, as above.
I must send you pics of the primates of All-Ireland who had a special privilege regarding pectoral crosses.
Peter: I'd be very happy if you did!
