Popis:	The study of a Visigothic gold cross is presented in this work. The PIXE analysis of the metal alloys and the soldering areas has been performed. Results reveal the presence of Cu–Ag–Cd–Au and Cu–Ag–Au alloys in the soldering areas. The PIXE–PIGE analysis of the mounted “stones” and the beads that decorate the jewel confirms that glass was used to emulate more valuables gems. By comparison with coetaneous jewels, clear differences on the technological procedures and the raw materials have been established.
