Gold Cross Pendants in Solid 14K Gold

About These Pendants

Lamed Fine Jewelry is a Los Angeles couture studio. We design and build handcrafted pieces in solid gold, set with natural diamonds and colored stones. The cross pendants in this collection are made the same way: solid 14K gold, finished by hand in our Los Angeles studio. Because every piece is finished by hand, no two are ever perfectly identical. All pieces are available to buy online and ship fully insured.

Solid Gold — Not Gold-Filled or Plated

There is a meaningful material difference between solid gold, gold-filled, and gold-plated jewelry. Gold-plated pieces have a thin layer of gold over a base metal; over time, that layer wears through. Gold-filled has a thicker bonded layer, but it is still not the same metal all the way through. Solid gold — what every Lamed piece is made from — is the same material throughout. For a cross pendant worn daily or given as a significant gift, solid gold holds its character and can be re-polished, resized, and worn for generations.

Choosing Your Metal: Yellow, White, or Rose Gold

Cross pendants at Lamed are available in solid 14K gold across three finishes:

• 14K Yellow Gold — the classic choice for a cross pendant. Yellow gold has a warm, rich tone that pairs naturally with the devotional character of the cross form and complements a wide range of skin tones.
• 14K White Gold — a cooler, contemporary alternative. White gold cross pendants suit a more minimal aesthetic and pair cleanly with diamond-set pieces or alongside silver-toned jewelry.
• 14K Rose Gold — a softer, warm tone that reads as modern without sacrificing the warmth of gold. Rose gold cross pendants layer well with both yellow and white gold pieces.

Plain Cross, Diamond-Set Cross, or Crucifix — Key Differences

The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they describe distinct things:

A plain cross pendant (often called a Latin cross) is the unadorned geometric form: a vertical bar intersected by a shorter horizontal one. It is the most versatile style, working across dress codes and silhouettes — equally at home layered with other necklaces or worn alone on a longer chain.

A diamond-set cross pendant takes the same form and adds natural diamonds, typically set in pavé along the arms or at the center intersection. Select pieces in the Lamed collection feature natural diamonds. Use the Gemstone filter on this page to browse diamond pieces.

A crucifix adds a sculptural figure to the cross form. It is the standard for Catholic and some Orthodox devotional wear and tends to be more dimensional and heavier than a plain cross pendant.

Custom Gold Cross Pendants Made in Los Angeles

Custom work is a large part of what Lamed does. If you want a cross pendant in a metal color or stone combination that is not in the current collection — or want to commission an entirely original design built from scratch — we can build it. Start with a custom request and describe what you have in mind. We’ll follow up by email to discuss options, timelines, and pricing before anything is made.

If you’d prefer to discuss the commission in person, private appointments are available in Los Angeles. Note: custom, engraved, and personalized pieces are final sale.

Pairing Your Cross Pendant with a Chain

A cross pendant needs a chain that passes through the bail and sits at the right length for the piece. Lamed carries solid gold chains in several styles, including curb chains, figaro chains, and others. A finer chain works well with a delicate cross pendant; a heavier chain suits a more substantial piece. If you already own a chain and are adding a cross pendant to it, check the chain width against the pendant’s bail opening before ordering — or email [email protected] and we’ll help confirm compatibility.
