An open-center cross with Lab-Grown Diamonds pavé-set along the entire outline. The middle is left empty, so what you see is a line of light tracing the shape rather than a solid block of metal and stone. It reads lighter on the neck than its size suggests.
Round brilliant Lab-Grown Diamonds pavé-set around an open cross outline, on a matching solid 14K gold chain. Yellow, white or rose gold, solid throughout, never plated or hollow. Accent stones at this size are not individually certified — I select and set them at the bench.
A solid cross reflects light off its surface. An open one lets light through it, so the pendant changes as you move and as whatever is behind it changes. It also drops the weight considerably, which is what makes a cross this size comfortable to wear all day rather than only for occasions.
Pavé lives or dies on bead work. Every stone is held by tiny beads raised from the surrounding metal, and they have to be even in size and evenly spaced or the line reads lumpy under raking light. On an open outline there is no field of metal to hide an error in — every bead is on the edge, in view.
