How to choose the right cross pendant? (The 3 criteria)
To avoid making a mistake, you should steer clear of the "austere" or "overly imposing" look of antique jewelry. Here are the criteria for the perfect modern pendant.

The trend is towards minimalism. A cross that's too large can be difficult to wear on a daily basis.
The ideal height? A height between 10 and 15 mm .
OUR Small Diamond Cross (13mm) It has been calibrated to be worn every day, alone or with other necklaces. Not too small, not too flashy: just perfect.
