Originally I selected this cross for my adult son.  When I gave it to him, his son (who is 14 years old) immediately expressed his interest in owning it! With such a quick response from the teen when his Dad had originally opened it had pretty much said it all!  So guess who ended up with the cross?  My grandson!  It's a stunning piece of jewelry. As someone had said in their review, it has some weight to it but my grandson has not complained!  It's a true beauty - if you're thinking of purchasing it - let this review be the deciding factor!
