14 Karat Gold Bead Edge Hollow Tube Cross Pendant

A cross is not a piece you replace. It gets worn daily for decades, handed down, and worn again — which is the argument for making one in real gold rather than something plated that looks the same only on the first day.
This one is finished with a beaded edge, an old goldsmithing detail where the metal border is worked into a row of tiny raised beads. It softens the outline and catches light along the rim, so the pendant reads as made rather than stamped.
A note on the construction: this is a hollow tube pendant. The gold is genuine 14 karat throughout — not plated, not filled — but the tube is hollow rather than solid, which is why it weighs roughly 0.3 grams and costs a fraction of a solid piece of the same size. The trade is real: hollow gold gives you presence without the weight or the price, but it is more easily dented than solid gold and should be treated a little more gently.
13.8mm by 19.2mm, so it sits close and quiet at the collarbone rather than making a statement.
Sold as a pendant only. It hangs easily on any of our chains.

Care
Gold does not tarnish and needs no replating. Because the tube is hollow, avoid crushing or bending it — store it separately, keep it away from chlorine, and wipe it dry after wear.
