Vintage Engraved Metal Cross Pendant Necklace

This item is a Christian cross pendant suspended from a slender cable or curb style chain. The pendant is crafted from a rose-gold or copper-toned metal, featuring a square-profile tubular or flat-bar construction. The front surface of the cross is embellished with delicate hand-engraved or stamped floral and foliate motifs, including stylized petals and long sweeping leaf-like strokes. Small clusters of three dots, likely representing seeds or blossoms, are strategically placed at the terminals of the cross members. The chain appears to be of a matching metal finish, showing signs of significant oxidation and age-related patina, particularly in the deeper recesses of the links. The cross shows minor surface wear, soft edges indicating frequent use, and a warm, mellow luster characteristic of vintage mid-20th-century costume or base-metal jewelry. While no hallmark is immediately visible in the image, the finish suggests it could be gold-filled or a plated base metal. The overall aesthetic is one of understated, traditional craftsmanship typical of religious jewelry from the 1940s through the 1960s.
