Custom Diamond Cross Pendant
Item #102920 $21,066 Price includes chainPendant Description
Pendant Design and Diamond Accents
The overall shape of this pendant is a budded cross, with the center area raised slightly, providing some texture and a more delicate look to the piece. Surrounding this raised section is a halo of round split prong set diamonds that follow the contours of the cross exactly.
These diamonds bring a lovely contrast to the design, and they add some sparkle without being overpowering thanks to their relatively small size. They also accentuate the shape of the cross, and they help separate the raised middle section more from the body of the pendant behind.
Gemstone and Metal Options
During the custom design process, the client wanted to see what the piece would look like with several different metal combinations and placements. One option was to have the center portion of the cross be made of white gold, with the back and the diamond settings in yellow gold. Alternately, we also showed her a model of a piece in yellow gold with the diamonds set in white gold.
This second option made the diamonds stand out much more thanks to the uniformity of color on the perimeter. Ultimately, though, the client decided she liked the look of the all yellow gold pendant with the diamonds also set in yellow gold. This is just one area to consider when you’re thinking about customizing a piece of fine jewelry, and our team can show you examples of all kinds of metal and gemstone combinations until you find the one that achieves exactly the look you’re after.

Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
