A 16" + 2" extension rhodium plated sterling silver necklace featuring a clear CZ sideways cross measuring approximately 11mm x 15mm. Finished with a spring ring closure.

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. Where the conventional upright cross presents its vertical arm as the dominant axis and its horizontal arm as the secondary element, the sideways cross reorients the form so that both arms lie in the horizontal plane of the neckline: the cross reads as a horizontal element against the chain rather than as a vertical pendant hanging below it. At 11mm x 15mm, the sideways cross in this necklace has a width-to-height ratio of approximately 1:1.36, which places it within the proportional range of the traditional Latin cross — a cross in which the vertical arm is longer than the horizontal. In the sideways orientation, the longer arm of the cross runs horizontally across the neckline, giving the pendant a wider horizontal footprint than the shorter arm. The cross is set with clear CZ — cubic zirconia, a synthesised crystalline form of zirconium dioxide that is optically clear, hard (8.5 Mohs), and faceted to produce a diamond-like brilliance. The clear CZ stones set across the 11mm x 15mm cross produce a continuous surface of faceted colourless stones, so that the cross reads as a single uninterrupted reflective element at the neckline rather than as a metal form with individual visible stones. Rhodium plating over sterling silver provides a bright white, tarnish-resistant ground that is consistent with the colourless CZ stones and maximises their light return.

A refined everyday pendant for cross jewelry lovers or anyone looking for a CZ sideways cross necklace in rhodium plated sterling silver, where an 11mm x 15mm CZ-set cross in a contemporary horizontal orientation sits at the collarbone on a 16" chain.

✨ How to Wear

Wear alone as a refined CZ sideways cross pendant at the collarbone, or layer with fine chains. The 16" + 2" extension positions the 11mm x 15mm cross at or just below the collarbone. The rhodium plated sterling silver pairs beautifully with white gold and silver jewelry.
