This truly unique vintage brooch pendant was made in the mid 20th century circa 1960 and designed by Arthur Pepper for his ART collection having an ornate gold-tone filigree cross swirl design and luxurious embellishments. Adorned with deep red rhinestones, faux pearls and turquoise accents, the 1.75 x 1.75 inch pendant makes an elegant statement piece. The versatility is unmatched—wear it as a pendant on the included 31 inch fancy turquoise crystal and gold rosary chain, or detach it to showcase as a brooch. Crafted in the coveted Italian style, this signed collector's treasure combines vintage charm beauty. A fancy gold-tone lobster claw clasp ensures secure fastening for everyday elegance.

Handcrafted jewelry MUST be handled with love. Here are some tips to help you care for your handcrafted designs:

• Clean your items with mild soap and hot water and polish with soft cloth. 
• Do not use jewelry cleaning solutions or ultrasonic machines.
• Due to the more delicate nature of handmade items, remove your jewelry before sleeping, showering, exercising or swimming.
• Don’t allow jewelry to come in contact with perfume, sunscreen, skin care, shampoo or chemicals to avoid problems with gemstones or metals.
• Handle with care as these are custom made and often include gemstones and vintage components.
