A striking expression of faith, heritage and enduring design, this vintage greenstone cross pendant dates from the 1920s. Carved from richly toned nephrite and finished with a warm 9ct rose gold bale, it is a meaningful piece that reflects the distinctive beauty of early New Zealand jewellery.
The cross is cut from polished greenstone, revealing the deep, natural variations and soft lustre that make nephrite so captivating. Its clean, pared-back silhouette allows the stone to remain the focal point, giving the piece a strong yet quietly elegant presence when worn.
Measuring approximately 54mm x 30mm, this is a generously scaled pendant with a beautifully sculptural feel. The warm rose gold bale creates a subtle contrast against the cool green stone, while a 45cm 9ct yellow gold cable chain completes the piece and allows it to rest gracefully at the collarbone.
A meaningful heirloom to wear, gift or pass on, this vintage pendant blends a timeless symbol of faith with the natural beauty and local character of New Zealand greenstone. It is a distinctive piece for those drawn to jewellery with history, sentiment and a sense of place.
