A big antique 14K gold cross strung on vintage black beads with 18K gold antique tamburin beads. The ornate cross has intricate details reminding me of old Mexican crosses- it’s so beautiful. The back side of the cross is covered with silver.
If you have seen my previous post on instagram and facebook, I acquired what I thought were vintage coral beads only to discover these really deep black glass beads underneath that dull orange color. Sanding took a looong time but the results were well worth it.
We added an 8K gold lock but it is still long enough to go over the head. It is in good condition.
