Antique Pendant Cross 22 carat Rolled Gold With Enamel of The Virgin Mary, 2.8 x 2 centimetres, 2.2 grams
This is a really lovely and good sized pendant cross.
It is 22 carat gold filled which is called 'Fix' here in France. This method involves pressing two sheets of gold onto a medal which is usually made of silver, copper or bronze.
With fix you can see where the two sheets of gold have been joined at the edge. It means there is a lot more gold on a fixe medal or brooch or cross than normal gold plating. In fact companies that buy gold will not by plated items but will buy fixe because of the high gold content.
This beautiful cross is 2.8 x 2 centimetres and it weighs 2.2 grams.
