Hollow Detailed Cross Pendant in 18K Gold

A hollow detailed cross in 18K gold — openwork structure at intimate scale.

A hollow detailed cross combines two design ideas: openwork (which removes metal from the interior of the form) and detailing (which adds worked structure to the remaining frame). The result is a cross that reads as filigree-adjacent without going as far as filigree.

This pendant uses that approach in 18K yellow gold. The detail work is concentrated in the central area of the cross; the outer outline is left clean. At 0.7 grams, the pendant is light despite the apparent complexity — the openwork removes mass while the detailing keeps the form interesting at close range.

A cross for those who want refinement without statement scale.
