Description
This is a New, Open Box Condition Pre-Owned Unbranded Jeweled High Quality Cut Blue Rhinestones 2" High CROSS Steel? Necklace with 20" Adjustable Jeweled Chain. No box or maker's mark could be found by me or a Jeweler. This was from an estate sale, and even though they said the stones were said to be rhinestones, they were so precisely faceted that I went to a Jeweler for a second opinion, and he said that they were High Quality Cut Rhinestones, and possibly some dark blue semi-precious stones. He also believed that the weight of the cross indicated it was probably steel, but could be high strength pewter. He characterized the finish on the metal as 'gun metal bluing', and said that this was characteristic of Eastern European makers and steel or cast iron, but without a maker's mark, it could have been made almost anywhere from any kind of metal. I count 39 stones on the cross of varying shaded of blue, ranging in size from 2.5 mm to 4.5 mm. There are 8 more pale blue 4.5 mm precisely faceted globes on the chain. The last pic is the back of the Cross. To show you how rugged this cross is, I accidentally dropped it from a height of about 4 feet onto concrete, and couldn't see any damage, nor were any of the stoned dislodged! _________________________________ FREE Domestic Economy Insured Shipping. Shipping weight about 6 ounces. International shipping ok. I will combine shipping on all my items. If you have a question about shipping costs for a specific mix of items, please don't hesitate to email me for a shipping cost quote. If you choose to then buy the items, please wait until I send you an invoice before paying for the items for your combined shipping quote or you might send excess shipping payments that ebay will charge a non-refundable fee for. Returns accepted. Uninsured shipments are at your risk. I always have confirmation that I have shipped. International shipping ok. The ebay and USPS delivery estimates are wildly optimistic. My experience is that international shipping will take 10 - 21+ days until delivery. Only Express Mail has a chance to meet the delivery estimate. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPERS NOTE: I cannot determine or pay any duties or know about quarantine your country may impose on any of my items. Please check with your local post office BEFORE buying or bidding so you don't get any unwelcome surprises. International First Class is the least expensive, but also is the least dependable. Please select your shipping option when buying. If you look at my ratings, you will note that only 2% of the sellers on ebay have my dual distinction. I have earned these ratings by being an honest, accurate and fast shipping seller. If you have ANY question or concern, please contact me through ebay messages and NOT through the paypal email address, as I only check that address monthly. I will answer most ebay messages in less than 1 day, and all in 2 days. Local pickup ok on all my items.. Alternate methods of payment ok if no paypal account as shown below. Please peruse my ebay store 'The Anachron' by clicking on the red icon at the top of this listing. INSURANCE NOTE: I try to insure every shipment of $20.00 or more by ebay's insurance. Unfortunately, 2012 postal regulations forbid insurance on certain types of postal shipping services to various countries. Also, unfortunately, I now usually only find out whether an item can be insured when I go to make out the shipping label. If insurance is incredibly important to you, email me before bidding and I will try to see if the least expensive shipping service can be insured. An example of the international differences is that at this time, Canada apparently forbids insurance on all postal service levels except Express Mail Parcels. In contrast, I have been able to insure First Class Parcels to both Argentina and Switzerland. I do not personally insure anything. UNINSURED SHIPMENTS ARE SENT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
