This stunning Vintage Maltese Cross Pendant Necklace features a 30” long gold-tone twisted Rope chain and a vibrant red and blue enameled Maltese Cross with a central Lion crest.

The crest depicts a lion and three stars on a blue enamel and gold background. This style is often referred to as a "heraldic" or "regal" Maltese cross.
