@mbd31 Certainly! Thanks for asking for it! Give me just a few minutes to get it out.

@mbd31 Added some of the chain, the cross front & back. I believe this type of chain is called a box link. Please let me know if you have any other questions. 😊

@mbd31 Tried to get the marks on the chain but they're too small. Some I only discerned by looking through a magnifying glass.

When you say the cross is worn, do you mean the playing is wearing off?

@anewave The last photo of the back of the cross shows what i was referring to.

@anewave The front is uniform, the back has obviously long brushed clothing so has slight change of coloration, but that's not the side that will be seen.

So the chain is marked 750 and the cross is rose gold plated?

@greekgodess Hi! I've attempted to reexamine the Cross and the chain and draw the various marks as best as I can interpret them viewed through a magnifying glass and I've photographed the drawing. The box link chain is more contemporary, of course, marked 750 for 18Kt gold on both the clasp & jump ring. Upside down to the 750 appears to be marked ⭐ 195 AR. The reverse side of the jump ring appears to have a lock symbol.

@greekgodess The Cross is non- magnetic so I assume it's a brass base with gold wash which accentuates the engraving. The wash appears a bit Rosey to my eye which is why I think it may be rose gold wash. You'll see the back of the Cross shows some slight wear exposing a bit of the base metal.

@greekgodess The hallmarks are more difficult to visualize. My eye interprets them a little differently than I may have originally described. There's a I I P or H P read holding the Cross upright and SC mc upside down to it. I hope this information is helpful. Again, my apologies for the delay. Thank you.
