High quality fashion jewelry from the Kelly Waters Collection featuring this 18in Gold-plated Large Polished Budded Crucifix. Each piece of Kelly Waters Collection begins with a non-corrosive metal such as brass, pewter or stainless steel. It is then permanently bonded with a layer of 24K gold no less than 20 micro-inches (mils) thick. That is 200% more gold than the FTC requires for gold plated jewelry. For high wear items such as chains and bracelets Kelly Waters doubles that amount to 40 micro-inches (mils). That is 600% more gold than other manufacturers use today. The Rhodium finish on all Kelly Waters pieces is also a beautiful finish that is very durable and will never turn or tarnish. - Picture shown above is not actual size, it is to showcase the fine craftsmanship and quality.
