Vintage high end MMA museum replica cross pendant:
~ Fantastic detailed reproduction of a 7th to 8th century A.D. Christian pectoral cross
~ Has the look and feel of sterling silver - but without a mark I can't say for certain
~ Oversized bail waiting for the chain or cord of your liking to wear on a necklace
Ready and waiting for your neckline, collection, special outfit / occasion, or gift giving - you will love this!
ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA = True vintage - cross has the look of a invaluable 600 - 700's piece - but this is a modern vintage gem
METAL AND/OR MATERIAL = Non - magnetic silver toned metal - has the look and feel of 925 sterling silver. In the absence of metal content marks I can't say for certain and don't want to scratch this up with acid testing.
CLOSURE/CLASP = Large oversized bail - can accommodate over a 4 mm chain or cord
MARKS = Applied rectangular plaque that has a copyright c in a circle and reads - THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
MEASUREMENTS = About 2 1/16" long including the bail x 1 3/8" wide
US RING SIZE = x
WEIGHT = 12.6 grams on my scale
CONDITION = Great vintage condition - no damage or quirks found to mention. In an excellent state of preservation
"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an extension and integral part and of the description.
