Diamond & Sapphire Cross Pendant

The Diamond & Sapphire Cross Pendant is a jewel of quiet devotion and refined character. Eleven round brilliant-cut diamonds trace the arms of a gently angled cross, their collective brilliance anchored by a larger centre stone and framed at each tip by a natural blue sapphire in a pointed trilliant cut. The result is a piece that feels both architectural and intimate — structured in form, luminous in effect.

Unlike a conventional straight cross, this pendant follows a subtle diagonal orientation, with arms that taper gracefully toward each sapphire terminal. This deliberate tilt gives the piece a sense of movement and individuality, setting it apart from classic symmetrical designs while preserving the cross’s timeless meaning.

Crafted in 18K white, yellow, or rose gold, the pendant reflects the standards of Antwerp’s fine jewellery tradition — precise, purposeful, and built to last.

Dimensions and Design

The cross is defined by its tapered arms, angled silhouette, and the interplay between white diamond brilliance and the deep blue of natural sapphire:

Diamonds: 10 × round brilliant-cut diamonds + 1 × round brilliant-cut centre diamond
Side Diamond Weight: 0.12 ct each
Centre Diamond Weight: 0.25 ct
Total Diamond Weight: 1.45 ct
Sapphires: 4 × trilliant-cut blue sapphires, one at each terminal
Individual Sapphire Weight: 0.04 ct each
Total Sapphire Weight: 0.16 ct

The centre diamond anchors the intersection of the arms, while the ten surrounding stones flow outward in diminishing arrangement toward each tip, where the sapphires provide a deep blue counterpoint.

Diamond Quality and Craftsmanship

All diamonds are natural round brilliant-cut stones, selected for consistency of cut, brightness, and visual harmony across the cross. Two quality levels are available:

VS2 Clarity / Color G
VVS2 Clarity / Color E

All diamonds are 100% natural, GIA certified, and conflict-free, set with precision to ensure uniform light return and long-term security.

Sapphire Quality

The four trilliant-cut sapphires are natural, unheated, and untreated — a distinction that speaks directly to their origin and integrity. No artificial enhancement has been applied, preserving the stones’ native colour and character. Their pointed triangular form echoes the tapered tips of the cross arms, creating a seamless transition between diamond and sapphire.

Handcrafted Excellence

The Diamond & Sapphire Cross Pendant is handcrafted by skilled artisans in Antwerp, Belgium, in accordance with the highest standards of fine jewellery making. From stone selection through to final polishing, every stage is carried out with exacting attention to detail, ensuring a finish worthy of the materials it showcases.

Comfort and Everyday Wear

Despite its visual presence, the pendant is designed with balanced proportions and smooth contours that allow it to rest naturally against the skin. Its scale makes it equally suited to daily wear and to meaningful occasions where something more deliberate is called for.

Versatile Elegance

The angled cross form and blue sapphire terminals give this pendant a personality beyond the conventional. It carries spiritual resonance without austerity, and wears as comfortably with a simple neckline as it does with evening dress. A piece for those who value meaning, craftsmanship, and restrained distinction.
