Double-Sided Cross Pendant in 18K Gold

A double-sided cross in 18K gold with twisted openwork — sculptural detail on every face.

Most double-sided pendants render two flat designs back to back. This one is sculptural: a twisted openwork structure where every angle reveals a different reading of the cross.

The piece is finished on both faces, the openwork carrying through the volume rather than stopping at the surface. The result is a pendant that looks like a sculpture rather than a flat ornament — closer in approach to small bronze work than to standard medallion jewelry.

At 2.4 grams in 18K yellow gold with a polished finish, the pendant has the weight of a piece designed to be central rather than incidental. The cross, rendered as form rather than image.
