14KT Gold Filled Scriptures Cross

"I shall never forget the Clonmacnois"
Pope John Paul II

This is a genuine 14KT Gold filled* Cross of the Scriptures, on a 24 inch endless goldplated stainless steel curb style chain. (An endless chain has no clasp to mess with, it just slips over your head) This cross is 1&3/4" tall by 13/16" wide. The design is intricate, as you can see from the enlarged photo. The raised circles are meant to symbolize head, heart, hands and feet of the crucified Christ. The back of the cross is smooth and bears the 14KT Gold filled mark.

This gold cross pendant is new and ships in a gray flocked hinged Where's My Jewelry? box. The design of this cross is taken from the famous 10 foot tall Irish Cross of the Scriptures at Clonmacnois on the River Shannon in Ireland. The eastern view of this great stone cross, also known as King Flann's Cross, is the side that is replicated here. The original Cross of the Scriptures is believed to be the site of King Flann's grave.

The scenes depicted on the face of the cross include:

God the Father holds the cross in the Last Judgment and Michael Archangel trumpets joy.
Evil being repelled.
Moses Praying.
Christ gives the keys to Peter and the book of Love to Paul.
St. Ciaran and King Dermot are working together.

* What is gold filled? Gold filled or gold overlay is a process of pressure bonding a thin layer of gold to a base metal core (usually brass). Gold filled (unlike gold plating) has an actual layer of gold, giving it more value and making it tarnish-resistant.

Minimum standards for gold filled require 1/20 th by weight be at least 12 kt gold (5%).

However Bliss, the manufacturer of this product uses a new method which bonds 14kt gold to both the front and back, for a total of 1/10 th 14kt gold (10%) In this way you get the true look and feel of 14kt gold at a fraction of the price of solid 14k gold.
