14k Yellow Gold Leaf Cross Pendant

About this piece

This 14k yellow gold pendant takes the form of a Latin cross with an open cutwork frame, a climbing vine and leaf motif rising through its center. The leaves are rendered in high-relief with a polished finish that catches light cleanly against the negative space of the cutout background — a detail the scale photo confirms sits just under an inch in total length, pendant bail included.

The vine grows from the base of the vertical bar upward, branching out symmetrically as it meets the crossbar, giving the piece a sense of quiet movement. The solid gold construction reads with some depth from the side, and the bail is proportioned to accept most standard chains.

Worn on a chain of your choosing, it sits close to the collar or layered longer depending on the chain length you pair it with. The polished yellow gold surface is easy to maintain with a soft cloth and mild soap, and the open design means no hidden recesses to trap residue over time.
