Patriotic 'God Bless America' Cross Pendant

This item is a patriotic cross-shaped pendant, crafted from 14k gold, as indicated by the '14k' stamp at the top of the bail, accompanied by what appears to be a manufacturer's mark 'MA'. The pendant features vibrant enamel work, mimicking the American flag. The top left quadrant of the cross displays a dark blue enamel field with numerous tiny, white, five-pointed stars, representing the star field of the U.S. flag. The remaining sections of the cross are filled with alternating stripes of red and white enamel, characteristic of the flag's stripes. A textured, possibly diamond-cut or faceted, gold ribbon wraps around the cross. This ribbon is engraved with the phrase 'GOD BLESS AMERICA'. 'GOD' is visible on the upper left arm, 'BLESS' on the upper right vertical section, and 'AMERICA' across the lower vertical section of the ribbon. The gold appears to be yellow gold, possibly polished, with textured areas on the ribbon. The construction is solid and appears to be well-made, suggesting good craftsmanship. The pendant is equipped with a sturdy, elongated bail for attachment to a chain. The overall condition appears excellent, with no visible chipping or cracking of the enamel, and the gold shows no significant tarnishing or wear from the provided image. This style often emerged in the late 20th to early 21st century, often as a display of patriotism.
