Vintage Martin Luther King Jr MLK Cross Photo Necklace Stephen Products NYC

Description

This uncommon plated metal cross pendant necklace is by Stephen Products NYC and features a gold plated memorial Maltese cross pendant with a photo of Martin Luther King Jr mounted in the center under a clear plastic dome.  I am guessing that it was a created as a memorial/remembrance necklace produced after the Civil Rights leader's assassination in 1968 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. This commemorative piece of jewelry will make a nice addition to any Civil Rights or US History collection. Please read complete details and information below in addition to closely reviewing all photos.  Thank you and enjoy.
SIZE
: The cross pendant measures approximately 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 9/32" deep. The necklace chain measures approximately 12/32" wide and is 30" long total, giving it a drop of around 15" while worn. Please note: The chain does not include a clasp closure and did not originally so please make sure that the size of the chain will be sufficient in size for placing over head/hair if you intend on wearing this piece. Adding a clasp will likely be an easy alteration for this piece but I am leaving that decision to the buyer.
