A gentleman's platinum cross pendant, Jeanine Payer, designed as a Latin cross, one side decorated in an organic design the other inscribed with the verse. And the bush has friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him. In the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars. And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended. And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars from Clancy of the Overflow, Ab Banjo Paterson, on a leather cord necklet, pendant length 39 mm, 74 grams, overall length approximately 560 mm. With a Jeanine Payer box. Accompanied by a signed letter from Russell Crowe stating his ownership. Provenance: Mr Russell Crowe, Sydney. This necklace was given to me by Meg Ryan in 2000. It is a commissioned one of a kind piece by the designer Jeanine Payer. Meg knew I liked the poetry of Banjo Patterson and she had a verse from Clancy of the Overflow engraved on it. I had this in my pocket when I won the Academy Award in 2001.' Russell Crowe
