I like to go to flea markets and garage sales and look for treasure to sell on Ebay. I am not much of a fan of jewelry. I saw this cross and believed it to be sterling. I thought it might be Russian or Greek Orthodox but was not sure. And it could be old or not, again hard to tell. I paid fifteen dollars and thought that it was a gamble as to whether I could make any money with it. The fun in treasuring hunting is discovering the history of the things you find. I have search the internet and have not found a similar item. I have not come across any thing close. The cross has six faces. Probably Saints or Popes and four diamond like stones. They are not diamonds.
When I found the cross, I could not see any makers marks on it. I After I got in home I discovered on the reverse in very small print "PKO". Not much on the internet on "PKO" that I can find. Finding this mark probable means that it is not old. It is Sterling and the weight is enough to cover the cost I paid.
Unfortunately there is no home run here, just a base on balls. I like the look of it and may just hang it on the wall.
