I have been looking for a cross pendant that I really liked for over a year now, with no luck.  I took a gamble on this one and am glad I did.  The pendant is awesome.  Just the right size, sturdy, and sleek-looking.  My only complaint about the pendant itself is the little ring that holds it to the cord is awkwardly shaped, and gets stuck in weird positions with the hole in the cross.  It also is not completely closed on one side, so if you put the cross on a more delicate chain, it will probably fall off.

As far as the cord goes, it is NOT leather.  It's more of a plastic-based material.  I threw out the cord almost immediately and put the cross on a stainless steel chain instead.  Looks great.

The pendant itself is 1 inch long, and 1.25 inches long with the metal ring attached to it.

Worth the buy.
