22K Matte Gold Filigree Cross & Hematite Art Nouveau Long Necklace

Art Nouveau romance meets a bold expression of faith in this one-of-a-kind long necklace, combining deep gray Hematite, antiqued bronze and an intricate 22K matte gold-plated silver filigree cross.

The cross is the centerpiece of the design, crafted in silver and finished in softly brushed 22K matte gold plating. Delicate open filigree gives it the graceful, ornamental character associated with Art Nouveau design, while the matte finish adds warmth without excessive shine.

Faceted deep gray Hematite gemstones are incorporated into the bronze rosary-style chain, creating a sophisticated contrast between cool metallic gray and aged bronze. The faceted surfaces catch the light as you move, adding subtle dimension throughout the necklace.

An antique-inspired black enamel drop with delicate etched floral detailing introduces another layer of texture and Old World character. Its dark finish beautifully echoes the charcoal tones of the Hematite while allowing the matte gold cross to stand apart.

The unusual combination of matte gold, bronze, black enamel and deep gray Hematite makes this an easy piece to wear with both warm and cool neutrals. It is equally beautiful with black and charcoal, cream and camel, or even your favorite denim.

There is an almost collected, European quality to this necklace—as though its individual elements were discovered over time and brought together into one distinctive design. Yet the cross keeps its purpose clear, giving you a beautiful way to make your Christian faith part of your personal style.

Artistic, sophisticated and unlike ordinary cross jewelry, this is a piece to wear when you want your faith—and your individuality—to
