14k White Gold Budded Cross Pendant

About this piece

This 14k white gold pendant takes the form of a budded cross — each arm terminating in scrolled, fleur-de-lis-style flourishes — and hangs from a round bail sized to accept most standard chains. The face combines a satin-brushed field with finely ridged borders running the length of each arm, meeting at a small diamond-shaped cutout at the center. The contrast between the matte interior and the polished edges gives the piece quiet visual depth without ornamentation.

The back, visible in the photos, is flat and smooth, so the pendant sits flush and still against the skin. The overall scale — just under an inch in total length — reads clearly on the chest while remaining understated enough for daily wear.

This cross works equally well on a delicate chain for everyday use or on a slightly heavier rope or box chain for a more defined presence. The rhodium finish over the white gold helps maintain the bright, cool tone and reduces the need for frequent polishing. A meaningful piece suited to confirmation, baptism, or quiet personal devotion, and refined enough to layer or wear alone.
