Handcrafted Metal Cross Pendant Necklace

This is a pendant necklace featuring a cross design, suspended from a thin black cord. The cross appears to be handmade and crafted from twisted pieces of metal, likely copper or bronze due to its reddish-brown hue. The top and horizontal arms of the cross are capped with what resemble oversized nail heads, giving it a somewhat rustic or artisan feel. The vertical shaft of the cross is formed by two intertwined lengths of the metal, which create an openwork design in the center where the arms intersect. The base of the vertical shaft terminates in a flattened, rounded end. The metal exhibits a slight patina and some surface wear consistent with age and use, particularly at the edges of the 'nail heads' and along the raised portions of the twisted metal. There are no visible manufacturer's marks, stamps, or signatures. The construction appears sturdy, with all parts presumably soldered or welded together. The black cord is likely кожа or a synthetic material, and it is attached to the top of the cross by a small, simple metal ring. The overall aesthetic suggests a handcrafted piece, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century, intended as a piece of fashion jewelry or a devotional item.
