"She was buried in her bed on the outskirts of Cambridge, some 1,300 years ago.

But hers was no ordinary burial.

As well as the highly unusual 'bed burial' (less than 20 have ever been found), the mysterious teenager was also laid to rest with a stunning gold cross. This identifies her as one of England's earliest converts to Christianity and makes the settlement one of the oldest Anglo-Saxon Christian burial sites in Britain." - University of Cambridge article

This is a 1.25" soft enamel pin.
