Vintage Diamond Cross Pendant Necklace 0.21tcw 10kt White Gold

This Vintage Diamond Cross Pendant Necklace centres 0.21 total carats of natural diamonds in a 0.80 by 0.60 inch cross silhouette in 10kt white gold. As a vintage piece, this is a pre-owned cross necklace that has been inspected, cleaned, and verified for authenticity, the design and provenance are as-found. The 10kt white gold body (purity 417) is more durable than 14kt for daily wear (lower gold content means harder alloy) while remaining a real solid gold piece rather than plated or filled metal. At $450 this is the most affordable diamond cross in our cross collection, the trade-off is the lower 10kt karat and the vintage final-sale status.

About the Diamonds

The 0.21tcw of natural mined diamonds is distributed across the cross silhouette as accent stones. At this carat range and the compact 0.80 by 0.60 inch pendant scale, the diamonds add visible sparkle to a cross that reads primarily as antique-styled fine jewelry rather than as a contemporary diamond-forward piece. The diamonds are natural rather than lab-created or simulated.

About the Vintage 10kt White Gold Setting

The pendant is fabricated in 10kt white gold (purity 417). 10kt gold contains 41.7% pure gold (vs 14kt at 58.5%), the lower pure-gold content makes the alloy harder and more wear-resistant, particularly useful for daily-wear pieces in vintage condition. 10kt white gold is typically rhodium-plated for the bright white finish characteristic of fine-jewelry white gold. As a vintage piece, the rhodium plating may show some wear in normal use over time, this can be re-applied at our showroom if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a vintage piece?

Yes. This is a vintage diamond cross necklace, a pre-owned piece that has been inspected, cleaned, and verified before listing. As a vintage piece, it is offered final-sale, returns and exchanges are not available.

Are the diamonds natural?

Yes. The 0.21tcw of diamonds are natural mined stones. Vintage pieces in our collection are confirmed for stone authenticity before listing.

Why 10kt white gold rather than 14kt?

10kt gold has a lower pure-gold content (41.7% vs 14kt at 58.5%), which makes the alloy harder and more wear-resistant. 10kt is a recognised fine-jewelry karat in the United States (the legal minimum for a piece to be sold as gold) and is particularly common in vintage American jewelry. Many buyers actually prefer 10kt for daily wear because the lower gold content extends the piece's wear life.

Why is this non-refundable?

All vintage pieces in our collection are offered final-sale because they are pre-owned, one-of-a-kind items. We provide detailed photography and descriptions, and we welcome questions before purchase. In-store viewing at our Astoria, NY showroom is also available.
