A 16" 14 karat gold plated sterling silver necklace featuring a sideways CZ cross measuring approximately 6.5mm x 11mm, set with twelve 1.2mm cubic zirconia stones. Finished with a lobster clasp.

The sideways cross — a cross rotated 90 degrees so that its vertical arm becomes horizontal and lies parallel to the chain — is a contemporary reinterpretation of the cross motif that became a distinct jewelry category in the early 2010s. At 6.5mm x 11mm, the cross in this necklace is a fine-scale form: the overall dimensions are small enough that the cross reads as a delicate rather than a bold element at the neckline, and its presence is defined by its outline and the light returned by its twelve CZ stones rather than by its physical scale alone. The cross is set with twelve 1.2mm cubic zirconia stones. At 1.2mm, each individual CZ is very small — smaller than the head of a pin — and the twelve stones are precisely placed across the arms of the 6.5mm x 11mm cross. CZ — cubic zirconia — is a synthesised crystalline form of zirconium dioxide that is optically clear, hard (8.5 Mohs), and faceted to produce a diamond-like brilliance. In a setting of this scale, the twelve 1.2mm CZ stones collectively define the form of the cross through their placement: the stones mark the outline or the surface of the arms, and their combined light return gives the cross a visible sparkle that is disproportionate to the physical size of the pendant. This version is finished in 14 karat gold plating over sterling silver, producing a warm yellow-gold setting for the colourless CZ stones — the classic combination of white stones against yellow gold that defines traditional fine jewelry. The 14 karat gold plating gives the cross a warm ground that distinguishes it from the cooler rhodium-plated versions of the sideways cross form.

A refined everyday pendant for cross jewelry lovers or anyone looking for a small CZ sideways cross necklace in 14 karat gold plated sterling silver, where twelve 1.2mm cubic zirconia stones are set across a 6.5mm x 11mm gold cross in a contemporary horizontal orientation on a 16" chain.

✨ How to Wear

Wear alone as a refined delicate CZ cross pendant at the collarbone, or layer with fine chains as the smallest element in a multi-necklace arrangement. The 16" chain positions the 6.5mm x 11mm sideways cross at the collarbone. The 14K gold plated sterling silver pairs beautifully with gold and warm-toned jewelry.
