So this is kind of weird...
I still remember reading this thread http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/todays-finds/292827-appropriate-sunday-find.html and today I found this similar small cross wandering the streets in my hometown, all encrusted in white dirt. I took a toothbrush and cleaned it all up and this looks like a good find I think.
So here are some pics compiled into one image of this smal cross.

Since we have kind of a financial crisis going on over here I don't trust a pawnshop or jewelry shop owner to make me an estimate or explain me what I have found, without any "head-start" info, and I once again turn to you TN guys:

It's about one inch high, has ten stones bound on it and fashions three stamped marks on the chain ring reading "750", "PAN" and the middle one looks like a makers mark(?).
I found out that 750 means 18K gold but this cross has the wrong color for me to be gold.... Shouldn't it be... golden?

Any help please? Would appreciate it...
 

''White Gold'' I would still take and have someone with a diamond tester, and see if the stones are real. Cool find! :thumbsup:

Thanks old digger, I guess I want be able to bypass that solution...
So I checked out "white gold" and this is an alloy of gold with silver and/or nickel/zinc/palladium...
Any ideas if any of the markings may indicate the metals included?
