The Elle Lab Grown Diamond Cross Necklace – 18K Yellow Gold Baguette and Round (1/5 ct)

A Cross Built From Two Diamond Cuts

The Elle is a lab grown diamond cross necklace in solid 18K yellow gold, set with 15 diamonds for 1/5 carat total across a pendant measuring 11 mm wide by 20 mm tall. Baguette cuts run down the vertical bar and round cuts run across the horizontal arm, so the two halves of the cross read differently in light.

It suits a wearer who wants a cross that reads as fine jewelry rather than a symbol charm, and it sits high enough on the chest to layer under a longer chain. Within our diamond necklaces collection, this is the design that carries two diamond cuts on one pendant instead of repeating a single stone shape.

Why Two Diamond Cuts on One Cross?

Most diamond crosses repeat one stone shape from top to bottom. Here the vertical bar takes baguettes, cut as long rectangles and set end to end so light travels as one unbroken line down the length of the cross. The horizontal arm takes rounds, which break that line into separate points of brilliance and mark where the two bars meet.

The pendant is 11 mm wide by 20 mm tall, large enough to read clearly at conversational distance and small enough to lie flat against the chest instead of swinging. The bar profile is kept narrow so the diamonds, not the metal, define the outline. The bail sits close to the top of the vertical bar, which keeps the cross hanging square rather than tipping forward.

Solid 18K Yellow Gold and IGI Certified Lab Diamonds

The pendant and bail are cast in solid 18K yellow gold, not plated and not filled, so the color runs through the metal and holds up to daily wear. The 15 stones are lab grown diamonds, chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds and IGI certified. Baguettes show body color and inclusions more openly than rounds do, so both cuts are matched as one set for color and clarity before any stone is seated.

• ◆ Each baguette seat is cut individually so the stones meet corner to corner down the vertical bar with no visible gold gap between them
• ◆ Prongs on the baguettes are filed low and square to the stone edge while the round prongs stay rounded, so neither cut catches on knitwear
• ◆ The junction where the baguette line crosses the round line is levelled by hand so both rows sit on the same plane
• ◆ Every pendant is checked under magnification for stone alignment, prong tightness, and bail seating before the chain is attached
