thank you Betty, I love it, because it is so wearable! I am not the Person for big junky jewellery, I prefer small ones (with exceptions.... sometimes). Here's another photo.

If I remember correctly, the smaller ones are usually older than the huge crosses. At least that's what I read somewhere... will try to find the source. Enjoy wearing this beautiful cross. I've always liked the ones with a hinge!

@Thank you Betty. I did not know about the smaller ones being older.....that would be great.
