ART Arthur Pepper large Maltese cross vtg brooch/pendant faux amethyst turquoise

A splendid ART Arthur Pepper Maltese cross brooch and pendant -- note at the top the small fleur de lis set with a faux turquoise -- this is the loop for hanging this handsome piece on a chain, and these little fleurs de lis are often lost. This one is the brooch intact. As you can see it, measures a shade over three inches long, with a large luminous glass amethyst cabochon in the centre, and small turquoise cabochons and blue crystals ornamenting the arms of the cross. It looks wonderful on a jacket or cardigan as a brooch, or as a focus-piece necklace for a dress or blouse. From a smoke-free, dog-loving home. Your questions welcomed.
