Item Description:

Vintage Mexican 925 Sterling Silver Filigree Cross Pendant - 21.49g Heavy Statement Piece

Up for sale is an exceptionally heavy, beautifully crafted vintage sterling silver filigree cross pendant.

This unique statement piece showcases traditional Mexican silversmithing style, weighing a highly substantial 21.49 grams—far heavier than typical openwork filigree jewelry of this size.

Design & Craftsmanship:

•The cross features gorgeous, intricate wire scrollwork and filigree loops accented by polished silver spheres at the intersections and terminals.

•It is crowned with a beautifully fluted, articulated bail that accommodates most standard chains.

The Gemstone (Untested):

•At the heart of the cross is an oval, bezel-set multi-color stone embedded inside a warm-brown matrix rock backing.

•It strongly resembles a Mexican Cantera Fire Opal, showing eye-catching flashes of green, orange, and red when caught in the light. Please note: The gemstone has not been professionally tested, so it is being sold as-is based on its visual appearance.

Hallmarks & Condition:

•The back of the stone casing is crisply stamped 925, confirming its solid sterling silver composition.

•The pendant is in excellent vintage condition with a rich, dark patina that beautifully highlights the details of the filigree work.

•It can be polished bright by the buyer if desired, though the current aged patina is left intact as it is highly sought after by vintage jewelry collectors.
