Nice at first glance , but then at closer look , it has strange unnatural seemingly chemical type blackening to edges and corners in spots ,yet frosted on the ribbing...usually when frosting is on ribbing the the edges of the cross outside the ribbing to the perimiter are consistently shiny or evenly have the same equal patina so, has the forsting been added or has it been fooled with?? I don't know what that is all about. Cannot fathom any viable reason for this anomally as normal acids from handling with human hands do not darken like that. In the manufacturing of indian jewelry in the southwest US they use a chemical to blacken silver that appears much the same as how this edge appears. Don't mean to rain on the parade. (does it have a noticible chemical smell of any type?)Comment

juoneen,
They use liver of sulfur to darken silver, gives it a nice dark patina. I think the darkening you see on the cross' frame flange is simply from handling, IMO.

No smell at all, came like this from the vet`s familiy directly in my hand. So no one messed arround with it.

I noticed that one on the front of their book.
What a stunner.
The main cross is a lovely screw back. Not sure why anyone would bother to just darker corners
