10K Gold Large Thorned Fleur de Lis Cross Pendant

A thorned fleur-de-lis cross in 10K gold, 2.25 inches long and 1.00 inch wide, set in micro-pavé with 1.35 carats of natural diamonds. The fleur-de-lis ends shape the outline of the cross, and the thorns give its surface texture.

The details. The pendant is 10K gold and weighs 4.70 grams. The diamonds are natural rounds in H color and SI clarity. H is near colorless: a faint warmth may show beside a whiter stone, but on its own it looks white. SI means small inclusions, usually found under magnification rather than by eye. Micro-pavé means many small stones set close together and held by tiny beads of gold, so the surface shows as one field of diamonds rather than as separate stones.

Size and fit. One size, in yellow, rose or white gold. This listing is the pendant; no chain is listed with it. A cross of this length hangs best on a chain long enough to drop it below the collarbone, where it sits clear of the throat.

Care. Clean it gently with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, since micro-pavé stones sit in small beads of gold that a hard scrub or a knock can loosen. Keep it away from chlorine and harsh cleaners, and store it apart from other pieces so the diamonds do not scratch them.

Buying it. Orders in the US ship with a TraxNYC appraisal that records the gram weight, the carat weight and the diamond grade.
