Black Steel Cut-Out Cross Necklace

The piece

Crafted from 316L steel, the pendant's hollow form is achieved by precise cutting. The entire piece, including the accompanying link chain, is coated with a matte black PVD finish. This process alters the steel's surface for a durable, non-reflective color.

The design results in a pendant that is unexpectedly light for its size. At the crossing point, a single, tiny cubic zirconia is held by a micro-insert setting, flush with the steel surface.

Why this piece

• 01
  Lighter Than It LooksCutting the center away leaves an open frame, so the pendant wears surprisingly light for its size. It hangs without dragging at the chain.
• 02
  Matte Black That Stays QuietThe PVD finish is non-reflective, so the cross reads as a dark, flat silhouette rather than a shine. It disappears under dark clothing and shows clean against light.
• 03
  A Detail Only You NoticeA single tiny zirconia sits flush at the intersection, picked up only at close range. The piece stays minimalist from across the room and rewards a second look up close.
