Vintage Copper Cross Pendant with Sliced Fluorite & Blue Glass – Sterling Silver Chain – Artisan Wide-Arm Mid-Century Necklace
This one-of-a-kind vintage pendant features a wide-armed artisan cross design crafted in solid copper and adorned with beautiful blue-toned inlays believed to be sliced natural fluorite. The inlays display soft color zoning and striking rainbow iridescence in natural light — classic hallmarks of this unique mineral. Each arm is framed by black enamel or resin, adding depth and contrast.
At the center sits a domed sky-blue glass cabochon, secured with a visible wire mount that passes through the copper back — a hallmark of hand-built construction. Four clear prong-set rhinestones surround the centerpiece, adding a subtle sparkle.
This pendant comes ready to wear on a 20-inch sterling silver chain, stamped “925,” with a naturally aged dark patina that complements the copper and vintage aesthetic beautifully. The pendant and chain are both in very good vintage condition, with all stones intact and minimal age-related wear.
