I almost couldn't list this as it looks so fabulous on. I've worn it several times and it (and I) sure received a lot of attention. I guess it should, not just for the awesome size, but for the colors of the huge faceted rhinestones. Really gorgeous, and with the fabulous pearls, it is truly spectacular! The cross itself is a combo pin/pendant and I have strung it so the cross can easily be removed to wear as a brooch if desired. The color looks mostly purple, however, I couldn't use just basic purple beads with it. Even though the center square stone is more of a true purple, the outer stones have a beautiful alexandrite color to them. Very much like lab created gemstone alexandrite. So, when I found the fuschia pearls they were perfect as they picked up that brilliant shade in the stones. The cross is a vintage piece, I would say 1980's era. The metal has a bright light gold finish but you don't see metal when you wear this piece.I made it adjustable with a vintage chain that matches the gold color of the cross. I also made it so you can twist the pearl strands and arrange them to your size and liking. This is a knock out for sure, made for the gal who absolutely loves big necklaces. The measurements are as follows: 21" total length, (16" with a 5" extender.) The width varies depending on how you arrange the pearls but approx 1- 2" is an accurate measurement. The cross measures 3~1/2" long x approx. 2~3/4" wide. The faceted keystone rhinestones measure 7/8" x approx. 3/4" by themselves. I will be making a pair of earrings for this as soon as I get more pearls, but vintage earrings look great with it. Comes with my Ellen Original copper hangtag.
