Plain Cross Pendant in 18k Yellow Gold | Two Sizes | Diamond Tales

18k Yellow Gold Cross Pendant. Available in 16 x 28 mm (2.4 g) and 12 x 21 mm (1.5 g).

The same clean cross, executed in 18k. If you have ever wondered whether the karat difference is really visible — it is, and a plain polished surface is exactly where you see it. 18k gold is 75% pure against 14k's 58.5%, which gives it a deeper, warmer, distinctly richer yellow.

The trade-off is honest: higher purity means a softer metal, so 18k picks up fine surface marks a little more readily over the years. Most people who choose it decide that patina is part of the point.

Two sizes. The smaller for a christening or a child, the larger for an adult who wants the piece to read from across the room.

Sold as a pendant. Pair it with one of our 14k or 18k gold chains, or bring me the chain you already wear and I will tell you honestly whether it suits the piece.
