A natural stone earthy palette is blended with filigree metal elements to allow interpretation of this cross as a Southwestern look or a Renaissance look - either would be correct. The cross is magnesite, a mineral that has a turquoise color. Glass goldstone, glass seed pearls and old Czech glass cabs of opal, jade and amethyst colors are great palettes for either expression. Exquisite vintage filigrees, shaped like the architectural details in old cathedrals are distinctly vintage. Worn for fashion or spirituality, the cross is the most enduring of all jewelry themes. The necklace has both a beaded and rolo 17" chain. It comes with a 5" extender and a lobster clasp.
