Small Diamond or Cubic Zirconia Set Cross Pendant

This is a small religious cross pendant, approximately 1 inch in length, held between fingertips for scale. The item is constructed from a white metal, likely sterling silver or white gold, though no hallmarks are visible in the provided image. The design features a Latin cross aesthetic composed of eleven round faceted clear gemstones, which may be small diamonds or high-quality cubic zirconia. The stones are individual held in four-prong settings, interconnected by small metal bars to form the cross shape. Each terminal point of the cross consists of a single stone, with three stones forming the horizontal crossbar and six stones forming the vertical post. A tapered, polished metal bail is attached to the top of the vertical post to allow the piece to be worn on a chain. The condition appears to be used but well-maintained, with minor surface scratches on the metal bail and visible grime or body oil accumulation behind the stones, which is common for jewelry of this type. The craftsmanship suggests a contemporary or late 20th-century mass-market production rather than a bespoke or antique origin. The metal has a bright, reflective finish consistent with rhodium plating over silver or gold.
