Five Lab-Grown Diamonds sit flush in smooth bezel settings: one brilliant-cut stone at the heart of the cross, four smaller diamonds anchoring each arm. At approximately 1 inch tall and 1 inch wide, it reads clearly at the neckline without overpowering it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe stones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive bezel-set Lab-Grown Diamonds, 0.34ct total weight. Round brilliant cut, set flush across the face of the cross — one at center, one at the tip of each arm. The bezel settings hold each stone secure and smooth against the skin, with no prongs to catch on clothing. Lab-Grown Diamonds are chemically, optically, and physically identical to mined diamonds. The difference is origin, not quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Byzantine cross is one of the oldest cross forms in Christianity — equal-armed, with the characteristic flared terminals that appear in Orthodox iconography, church mosaics, and heritage jewelry from Constantinople through Queens. This pendant carries that form faithfully: the proportions are correct, the cusped points are hand-finished, the surface texture catches light the way antique gold does. Pendant only — chain sold separately. We recommend a 1.2mm-1.7mm cable or box chain in 18 or 20 inch length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe metal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in solid 14K yellow gold, 14K white gold, and 14K rose gold. No plating, no gold-fill — solid throughout. The yellow gold is the most traditional reading for a Byzantine cross and works with the warm glow of the textured surface. White gold gives the cross a cooler, more graphic quality. Rose gold sits between the two. All metals are nickel-free and safe for sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandcrafted in New York City\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery cross is cut and finished by hand in our Woodside, Queens workshop by founder Dimitri. The Byzantine forms I grew up around in the Greek Orthodox tradition — rendered in solid 14K gold and built to be worn every day, and handed down. Production takes 2–3 weeks from order confirmation.
