{"product_id":"solid-gold-cross-pendant","title":"Cross Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eNothing on it. That is the difficult part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCross Pendant\u003c\/strong\u003e is a plain \u003cstrong\u003eLatin cross\u003c\/strong\u003e in flat bar stock — no corpus, no engraving, no texture, no bevel. Every face is flat, every edge is \u003cstrong\u003ecut square\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the whole thing is finished in a \u003cstrong\u003efull mirror polish\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is unusual for us: almost everything else in the catalogue is satin somewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat finish is the reason this piece is harder to make than it looks. On a satin surface a slight wave or a soft edge disappears. On a mirror this size — \u003cstrong\u003e44.3mm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e, the largest cross format we build — every flat has to actually be flat, because the reflection shows you immediately if it isn’t. The arms have to sit at a true right angle and the edges have to run dead straight for the length of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eproportions\u003c\/strong\u003e are drawn long: the lower arm runs roughly twice the length of the upper, with the crossbar set high. That is the classical Latin proportion rather than the squarer modern one, and it is what makes the piece read as tall rather than wide on the chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt carries \u003cstrong\u003e17.4g in 18K\u003c\/strong\u003e and takes a chain up to \u003cstrong\u003e4.5mm\u003c\/strong\u003e — the heaviest chain fit in this group, which is what a cross this size needs to hang square instead of tipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere our Diamond-Cut Crucifix and Detailed Crucifix both carry a figure and surface work, this is the cross alone. It is the piece to buy when the point is the symbol and not the workmanship around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy You’ll Love It:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Mirror Polish\u003c\/strong\u003e – Bright across every face, no satin anywhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare-Cut Edges\u003c\/strong\u003e – Flat bar stock with hard corners, not rounded or bevelled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassical Latin Proportion\u003c\/strong\u003e – Long lower arm with the crossbar set high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLargest Cross We Build\u003c\/strong\u003e – 44.3mm tall before the bail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy Chain Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e – Takes chains up to 4.5mm so it hangs square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Gold Throughout\u003c\/strong\u003e – No stones and no plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChain not included.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade to order, turnaround time is typically 2-4 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44.3mm × 23.6mm (1.74” × 0.93”), not including bail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChain Fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 4.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMirror polish throughout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEstimated Weight by Purity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox.
