The Cross believed to be worth £25,000 has been done in 18 karat gold and has three red gemstones intact. Believed to worn as a pendant for its small-size it is made of gold melted from Merovingian French Coins. Even the three red gemstones are special as they are supposedly the Grantum gems which are one of most ancient stones in the world.
