This vintage crucifix is made of black, semi-precious Onyx framed in 925 Silver, mounted with Marcasite inserts.
The silver 925 and maker's mark are inside the Bail (please see picture).
More modern versions of this classic design have the silver mark on the back of the cross. This is the much older version that has a higher level of craftsmanship. The Onyx arms are fluted and fit the silver perfectly. No chips, no significant scratches, this estate piece has clearly been cared for.
The cross is 2.75 cm x 4 cm.
Weight: 11 g (cross deals + chain)
The fine, double-looped Chain is also silver, 60 cm long (2 ft), marked “STG 925” (please see photo) as Sterling Silver.
A quality piece with the attention to detail and craftsmanship rare today.
As an estate piece, you expect wear, but this item has been well cared for.
If requested I will clean the chain ultrasonically prior to shipping.
