14k Yellow Gold Garnet and Diamond Cross Pendant on Figaro Chain

This fine jewelry piece features a classic cross-shaped pendant suspended from a 14k yellow gold Figaro style chain. The pendant is constructed with six marquise-cut gemstones, likely natural garnets given their deep saturated burgundy-red hue. These stones are arranged in a four-point design with two stones on the vertical lower arm and one on each other arm. At the central nexus of the cross is a single small round brilliant-cut accent, appearing to be a diamond, secured in a traditional shared-prong setting. The chain is an 'opera length' Figaro style, characterized by its repeating pattern of three short curb links followed by one elongated rectangular link, providing a durable yet elegant aesthetic. The gold exhibits a high-polish finish with a warm yellow tone characteristic of 14k purity. Notable craftsmanship details include the individual prong settings for each marquise stone, ensuring security while allowing light to penetrate the pavilion. The condition appears excellent with minimal signs of wear; the stones show no visible surface abrasions or chips, and the chain links appear straight without kinking. The style and construction suggest a contemporary manufacturing period, likely late 20th century to modern day. The combination of the deeper red stones with the yellow gold metal offers a traditional, timeless appeal suitable for both religious and fashion-oriented wear.
