Crafted in a large statement size the front of the cross is beautifully hand-engraved in an aesthetic floral design with raised ivy leaves and calla lily flowers overlaid in rose and yellow gold. It has its original hallmarked suspension ring at the top and suspends from a classic sterling silver belcher/rolo chain with elegant round D-shaped links and a bolt ring fastener.
