A Charming Pendant, January 18, 2008
This review is from: Sterling Silver 14 Karat Gold Plate and Rhodium Plated Sterling Silver Cross Pendant (Jewelry)
I usually don't but stuff from marketplace vendors, because the shipping adds so much to the cost. But this piece looked so much nicer than Amazon's offerings, and had three 5 star reviews, so I ordered one for a birthday present for someone special. It arrived quickly in a little Tiffany blue colored box.
One of the problems with buying jewelry is you can't always tell the size, and pieces that look large in pictures turn out to be scrawny little things. So for those who want to know like I did, the cross is exactly 15/16" wide and 1 3/8" tall (not including the loop). That should help if you draw it on paper to see exactly what you'll be getting.
The other thing you can't tell from the picture is that the cross is not completely solid. It is hollowed slightly in the back, which I don't completely understand why just to save a few cents in silver. But the way the hanging loop is attached, it should stay right side forward when worn.
Otherwise, it does look just like the picture and is a clean and elegant design, and is carefully and well made. I have no doubt the recipient will be quite pleased with it. I bought it when Amazon was having a sale on their religious jewelry, but I still think this is a nicer piece, and a better value.
I am certainly pleased with this purchase.

Possitve and Negative, January 10, 2009
This review is from: Sterling Silver 14 Karat Gold Plate and Rhodium Plated Sterling Silver Cross Pendant (Jewelry)
This pendant looks lovely from the front. But the back has a stamped look that spoke to me a mass production and not of best quality. Now, I know most jewlery for this price is mass produced. But when giving this pendant as a gift, I really dont want the recipient to feel I gave them less than the best. I would have liked the back to appear more finished. Also, it doesnt come with a chain which is a disadvantage.
