Royal Princess Cut Cross

The piece

Princess-cut purple sapphire down a one-inch cross in 14K gold, 1.25 carats at 1.20 grams. Purple is the sapphire color that shifts hardest between light sources — closer to violet in daylight, dropping toward a deeper plum under warm bulbs. At 1.20 grams this is one of the lighter crosses we build. Square stones set close leave almost no gold visible on the face, so the weight goes into the stones and the back rather than into bulk you can see. More across our cross pendants .
