My wife recently received this as a gift and she’s not sure what it is.
It's a fancy bookmark.
I can see that. She not convinced though because it’s not flat.
My grandmother collected them for some reason. It's definitely a bookmark.
It’s not a bookmark. How in the world would that stay in a book.
The comment below is the correct answer. It’s a dowser crystal. You ask it a question over a grid with yes/no on it and it will swing to yes or no. I know bc I worked in a crystal store and we sold these. I have one in my collection.
They sell them with a cross on it? That's odd. I feel like a cross is like, I don't know, very much aligned with Christianity and they're not usually the type to buy into the whole spiritual crystal thing lol. I could very well be wrong, I wouldn't be surprised
They come in all sorts of varieties. Mine is a merkaba
No idea what that means. Lol
It goes in the crease and fits well when the book is closed. Definitely a bookmark. The cross and jewel dangle from the bottom and then it looks pretty sitting on the bed table.
The crystal would hang out of the book so it’s just the chain and cross inside
It's a bracelet. You pull the chain through the ring, then slip your hand through, and the weight of the crystal holds it fast to your wrist so it doesn't slip off.
Edit:spelling error
That was my first thought. I had several similar bracelets like that as a child.
I thought this too.
It’s a nipple ring
Haha. She’ll like that.

It's a dowsing pendulum. Held by the ring and the crystal swings free
I thought of the T.V show Charmed (the original) when I seen it
Do dowsing pendulums usually have crosses on them?
Depends. Some have the Star of David or a Dream Catcher.
I can see a bookmark having either of those. Just seems odd to combine “witchy” stuff like crystals and dowsing, with “religious” symbols like crosses.
Im not arguing, just seem odd to me
It sure does look like it. I think she use it as a bookmark.
It looks like one of those rearview mirror charms to me.
Looks like one of my old glam metal earrings from the 80s
Could be a fancy bookmark, I have a few bookmarks similar to that
Rich man's plumb bob.
Looks like it belongs to someone whose name starts with t, tammy or timmy, maybe?
If the crystal and crucifix fit through the ring then I think it’s a bracelet, if it looks weird or doesn’t fit then I’m team bookmark.
Hang it in a west facing window and you’ll get a light show til late evening.
Think it might be a pull chain for a lamp or a fan
Sun catcher
It's a Christian butt plug
Oh boy.
It represents Jesus's well documented love of an elaborate chandelier
That's pretty clearly christianry
Thank you so much.
Solved
Length?
I think she said 8” or so.
Prince Albert/plug
In my home we'd surely use that as a divination pendulum.
