Openwork Cross Pendant in 18K Gold

An openwork cross in 18K gold at twenty-five millimeters — the symbol drawn in negative space.

An openwork cross uses absence as part of its construction. Where a solid cross fills the form completely, an openwork cross renders only the outline and the internal structure, leaving the rest as visible space.

This version traces the cross silhouette in 18K yellow gold at twenty-five millimeters in height. The interior cuts produce a lattice that reads as detailed up close and as a cross from any distance. The polished finish ensures every edge of the cutout catches light.

At 0.6 grams, the pendant is light enough to disappear into daily wear, with the symbol still fully recognizable.
