The Story
A small die-struck cross pendant, about an inch and three-eighths tall, with a beaded border running around every edge and a curled acanthus leaf at the end of each arm. The bail is a plain jump ring. It carries no mark and its metal was never tested, so it went out as gold-tone. Crosses built this way were common American work from about 1890 to 1920.
