This large cross pendant is made from 18k yellow gold, with a platinum front. Its arms are open-worked and have rounded corners, which adds a sense of airiness to the design.
The center is set with a cabochon-cut, synthetic sapphire of circa 0.50 carats. The cross is further studded with 36 old mine-cut and rose-cut diamonds of various sizes. All gemstones have been placed in open settings, allowing light to pass through the stones.
