This item comes from an estate of a woman in New York who hob knobbed with many famous stars and just has an amazing amount of jewelry (much of it not worn) gotten as gifts throughout the years. This is a wonderful metal Maltese Cross that is definitely a 50's style. It is made to look like old pewter and has great lines with the geometric design -- the balls are laid inside of the squares -- a great design!! The cross is 2 1/2" on a 25" silver metal chain.
