Gorgeous mid-late 19th century cross necklace made of vulcanite or ebonite, a type of thermoplastic consisting of a hardened rubber.

This was a very common material for jewelry during the time period, as well as small accessories, combs, photo cases, and purse and parasol handles.

The large and ornate cross features a beautiful, high relief floral design and the lightweight but chunky chain is absolutely stunning.

+++ Measurements +++

18" long chain

Cross measures 3" x 1 3/4"

+++ Condition +++

Lovely condition overall. Still very dark coloring to the vulcanite though there are a few faded/lighter places.

Very small nick on the back side of the cross that is not visible from the side or the front.
