Art Deco Style Diamond-Set Cross Pendant and Rope Chain

This item is a necklace featuring a classic Latin cross pendant suspended from a highly reflective rope-style chain. The pendant is constructed from a silvery-toned metal, likely white gold, platinum, or high-quality sterling silver, and is meticulously channel-set with thirteen graduated, round-cut colorless gemstones which appear to be diamonds or high-grade cubic zirconia. The metalwork features milgrain detailing along the rectangular edges of the cross, a hallmark of Art Deco and vintage-inspired design, providing a textured and sophisticated finish. The cross is approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in length and is attached to the chain via a polished V-shaped bail. The accompanying chain is a medium-gauge rope link, known for its durability and twisting appearance that catches light from multiple angles. While no internal hallmarks are visible in the photograph, the craftsmanship suggests a late 20th-century or early 21st-century contemporary manufacture modeled after late-Victorian or Edwardian styles. The condition appears excellent with no visible missing stones, though minor surface abrasions consistent with gentle wear may be present on the reverse. The stones exhibit a high degree of brilliance and fire, suggesting they are well-cut and clear.
