Midcentury Cross Pendant Necklace

This vintage gold-filled charm is ready for a new life as a favorite everyday necklace. A beautifully detailed cross accented with geometric engraved and milgrain details. Hangs from gold-filled bail. Paired with an 18” gold-filled chain, which fastens with a spring ring style clasp. 

What is “gold-filled?” Gold-filled jewelry is higher quality than gold-plated and lower cost than solid (alloyed) gold. Typically, gold-filled jewelry is required to have a 1/20th (or 5%) weight in gold (usually 14k,) which is affixed/bonded to all exterior portions of the jewelry item (which usually has a brass, or sometimes copper, core.) Gold-plated jewelry has no such standards and as a result usually involves a much thinner coating of gold. Gold-filled jewelry can last a lifetime without showing signs of wear and makes for excellent and durable everyday-wear pieces.
