Rhinestone Embellished Cross Pendant

This is a decorative cross pendant, likely intended as costume jewelry, featuring a gold-toned metal construction. The design incorporates a central twisted or braided motif that forms the arms of the cross, giving it a somewhat organic or Celtic-inspired appearance. Each arm of the cross is further embellished with small, clear or iridescent rhinestones, possibly simulating diamonds or other gemstones, set within recessed areas of the twisted metal. The center of the cross contains a cluster of approximately seven larger, round rhinestones, with a reddish-brown or amber colored stone at the very center, surrounded by six smaller, lighter-colored or iridescent stones arranged in a floral or circular pattern. The overall color palette is warm, with the gold-toned metal providing a rich backing for the sparkling stones. The reverse side is not visible, but typically, this type of jewelry would be flat-backed or have a simple texture. There is a small metal jump ring at the top, indicating it's designed to be worn on a necklace or bracelet. The condition appears to be good with some minor surface wear visible on the metal, consistent with age and use, but no major tarnishing or missing stones are immediately apparent from the image. The craftsmanship suggests it is a mass-produced piece, likely from the mid-20th century onwards, with a focus on ornamental appeal rather than high material value. The textured metal and varied rhinestone colors provide visual interest and a touch of sparkle.
