Unfortunately the top-part of this unusual cross is missing. It is actually barely recognisable as a cross... Very small, about an inch across and a little more in length.Good silver.

    Rich looking cross Betty, I place it as a Gojjam cross.  Try to find a top piece or have it I have seen sometimes loose top pieces on sale (not knowing what they are) at etsy.  I will see what top goes original with it amongst my collection for you info. GR. Ingrid

    Thank you Ingrid! I saw these top pieces too (5 or 6 sold together), but only one would fit technically and that one would not suit the style...but if you would find a similar piece in your collection I might ask my ingenious jeweller to copy it. Kind regards, Betty
