Cross Palito with Amarração Pendant in 18K Gold

A palito cross in 18K gold with amarração — slim cross, with binding detail.

Amarração — binding — refers to the wrapping or tied detail that wraps part of the cross's surface, treating the metal as if it were rope or twine bound around the form. The technique adds texture and visual rhythm without altering the cross's overall geometry.

This palito cross uses amarração at a larger scale — 1.5 grams in solid 18K yellow gold, with the binding detail wrapped at one or more points along the cross. The slim base is kept clean; the binding becomes the focal element.

A pendant where the technique adds character to a familiar form.
