Exquisitely designed, this 14 karat yellow gold cross uniquely catches and reflects light thanks to the engine-turned cuts along both the horizontal and vertical planes. It also has a polished cross set within the cuts at the cross's center. The back is plain and polished, and features a slight outline framing the edge. It measures 1.1 inches tall and 0.6 inches wide, and it comes with an 18-inch, 14 karat yellow gold chain.
One of the oldest metals to be fashioned into jewelry, yellow gold is a classic that will always be in fashion. It is alloyed (mixed with other metals) to make it harder and more affordable. Typically, this highly popular metal alloy is made up of 50% copper and 50% silver. With 14 karat yellow gold, the jewelry is composed of 58.3% gold (or 14 parts gold to 10 parts metal alloy).
