Silver Filigree Cross Pendant on Leather Cord

This item is a decorative cross pendant featuring intricate silver filigree work, suspended from a thick, black leather cord necklace. The pendant exhibits a Latin cross form with slightly flared ends, meticulously crafted with fine twisted silver wires and small decorative spheres (granulation). At the center of the cross is a dimensional, multi-layered floral or sunburst motif anchored by a central silver dome. The filigree patterns include scrolling vines, circular spirals, and teardrop shapes that fill the structural frame of the cross. The piece is likely made of sterling silver (925), evidenced by the characteristic tarnish and patina visible in the recessed areas, which adds depth to the design. The pendant is attached via a tapered bail, also decorated with filigree. The condition appears excellent with no missing wires or visible damage to the delicate metalwork. The leather cord is finished with a cylindrical silver-tone metal clasp. This style is characteristic of Mediterranean or Eastern European artisanal jewelry traditions, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present. The craftsmanship displays high attention to detail and traditional bench-work techniques.
