14kt Yellow Gold Eastern Orthodox Crucifix Necklace

This fine jewelry set consists of a 14-karat yellow gold Eastern Orthodox crucifix pendant suspended from a heavy link chain. The pendant features a highly detailed three-bar cross, characteristic of the Russian or Greek Orthodox tradition, depicting the crucified figure of Christ (corpus) with intricate relief work. The cross is framed by ornate, trefoil-style decorative flourishes at the terminals and along the edges, suggesting a Byzantine or Baroque aesthetic influence. The yellow gold possesses a rich, warm luster consistent with 14kt purity. The accompanying chain is a sturdy bismark or double-link style, featuring a lobster claw clasp for secure closure. Total length appears to be approximately 20 to 24 inches, though exact measurements would require physical inspection. Visible condition is excellent with no signs of missing elements, broken links, or significant abrasions. The craftsmanship exhibits high-quality lost-wax casting and hand-finishing, typical of modern religious fine jewelry from the late 20th century to the present. The metal's uniform color and absence of heavy tarnish indicate a well-maintained piece of solid gold construction.
