Vintage Gold Tone Cross Pendant Necklace with Red Rose

Description
A crimson rose sits where the arms of this cross meet, its layered petals folded open like a flower in full bloom. The piece dates to the 1970s–1980s. Small starburst motifs are stamped at the tip of each arm, and the dimensional rose adds a romantic softness to an otherwise classic cross. It hangs on a box chain at mid-chest and can be worn alone or layered with finer pieces.

Materials
Gold-tone metal, red painted metal
