‘UK’s biggest' gold cross and chain up for auction and seller hopes Tyson Fury will snap it up

The owner of the 'UK's biggest' gold crucifix necklace is putting it up for auction and hopes Tyson Fury will give it a new home. Nottinghamshire man Andreo Montarino bought the giant cross and chain as it reminded him of his late nan.

His grandmother, who died 18 months ago, was deeply religious. And as she would have hated to see it melted down, Andreo hopes a boxer like Tyson Fury or a rapper will buy it and wear it with pride.

As reported by Nottinghamshire Live, Andreo bought the item in Birmingham ’s Jewellery Quarter after spotting it in the window of a bullion dealer. He is now putting the 1.5kg necklace up for auction where it is expected to fetch £30,000.
