The geometric elegance of a timeless cross
The straight cross motif is part of a strict stylistic tradition. This minimalist interpretation draws on the aesthetic codes of the Art Deco period, an era in which geometry dictated form. The absence of ornamentation draws the eye to the purity of the lines. This pre-owned piece features a precise alignment of 11 natural brilliant-cut diamonds with an estimated total weight of 0.71 carats. The 18-carat white gold setting supports the gemstones with understated elegance.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The overall structure is based on a shared prong setting. Each diamond is firmly held in place by four slender metal prongs shared with neighbouring stones. This raised setting minimises the visible metal surface when viewed from the front and allows light to circulate beneath the bezels. The diamonds’ fire is thus maximised. The piece as a whole reveals rigorous technical mastery, giving these 0.71 carats a striking visual presence.
Why choose this second-hand necklace
Purchasing a piece of jewellery of this nature requires a discerning approach. The handcrafted design and hand-set stones of such a setting demand a significant amount of labour. Buying second-hand allows you to focus on the value of the pure materials and the quality of the craftsmanship. The amount of gold used provides a reassuring weight when worn, ensuring lasting structural strength, all without having to pay the premium associated with a designer label.
