Small Sterling Silver Cross Pendant – Lirae
$39.95
A precisely scaled Latin cross in solid 925 sterling silver, set with alternating round and baguette-cut cubic zirconia along every arm for a brilliance that punches well above its size.
- Solid 925 sterling silver construction with a rhodium-bright polish, weighing just 0.03 oz for a featherlight feel on any chain you pair it with.
- Mixed-cut stone layout alternates round brilliant and baguette CZ along the cross arms, creating a textured sparkle pattern that flat single-cut designs cannot match.
- Pendant measures 0.47 x 0.89 in (bail included), compact enough for discreet layering or a single understated statement on a fine chain.
- Smooth oval bail accommodates most chain widths up to 2mm, giving you full flexibility to mount it on a cable, box, or rolo chain of your choice.
- Sold as pendant only, making it ideal for collectors who already own a favorite chain or want to customize their necklace length and style.
Our Take
The baguette-and-round pattern gives this cross a sparkle that shifts depending on the angle. At under an inch tall, it reads clean and quiet on the neck. The silver is bright, the stones are tight in their settings, and the weight is nearly imperceptible.

Description
A Sterling Silver Cross Pendant with Mixed-Cut Brilliance
The Lirae takes a classic slim Latin cross and adds a level of detail usually reserved for larger, more expensive pieces. The stone layout is not a uniform row of identical rounds. It alternates between baguette-cut and round brilliant cubic zirconia, each individually set into the polished silver channel that runs the length of every arm. Baguettes throw light in broad, clean flashes. Rounds scatter it in all directions. Together, they create a layered sparkle effect that shifts as you move, giving a sub-one-inch pendant a visual complexity that draws the eye at close range. The sterling silver is finished to a high polish with no antiquing or brushing, keeping the overall tone bright and contemporary. At 0.03 oz, you will forget it is there until someone notices the light catching off your collarbone.
Pendant-Only: Building Your Own Cross Necklace
The Lirae ships without a chain, and that is by design. A pendant this refined deserves to be paired with intention. On a thin 1mm cable chain at 16 in, it becomes a minimalist choker suited to daily wear and professional settings. On a 1.5mm box chain at 18 to 20 in, it drops into V-neck territory with more presence. Stack it as the focal point between two plain gold or silver chains for a layered look that mixes metal textures. The smooth oval bail slides freely on most standard chain gauges, so you are not locked into a single style. For gifting, pair the Lirae with a simple sterling chain in a coordinating length and you have a complete necklace that feels curated rather than off the shelf.
Sterling Silver and CZ Care
Sterling silver will develop a natural patina over time if left unattended. To maintain the Lirae’s mirror finish, store it in an anti-tarnish pouch or sealed bag when not wearing it. Polish occasionally with a soft silver cloth, working gently around the stone settings to avoid loosening any CZ. Avoid exposing the pendant to chlorine, bleach, or harsh household chemicals. When cleaning, warm water with a drop of mild dish soap and a soft-bristle brush will remove oil and residue from the stone surfaces, restoring their clarity. Dry thoroughly before storing. With routine care, 925 sterling holds its structural integrity for decades.
