Vintage Hefty 925 Sterling Silver Ornate Green Peridot Cross Necklace 18"

Elevate your collection with this substantial sterling silver cross necklace. The pendant features a heavy, high-relief ornate design characterized by intricate floral scrollwork and oxidized detailing that provides a beautiful "antique" contrast. At the heart of the cross sits a genuine, bezel-set round faceted peridot, offering a bright pop of lime-green color. The pendant has a significant "hefty" feel, signifying quality craftsmanship. It hangs from a sleek, liquid-like sterling silver snake chain that complements the boldness of the cross without distracting from it. This piece is perfect for those who appreciate Gothic, Art Nouveau, or religious-inspired statement jewelry. Product Details: - Pendant Dimensions: 2-inch drop (including bail) x 1-inch width x ~3mm thickness - Material: Solid .925 Sterling Silver (Hallmarked). - Gemstone: Natural Faceted Peridot (approx. 5.3mm). - Chain Type: 18" Sterling Silver Snake Chain (approx. 1.6mm) - Condition: Excellent vintage condition with a natural patina. Note: I am fairly confident the stone is a natural peridot based on its characteristic "olive" hue and clarity, though without a refractometer, I cannot rule out high-quality lab-spinel. The "925" hallmark is clearly visible on the reverse of the pendant and the chain clasp. ⚠️QUALITY GUARANTEE⚠️: ALL items are carefully and accurately tested for precious metal content using industry-standard acid testing methods to ensure authenticity.
