The Arthus Bertrand Open Cross pendant offers a contemporary and meaningful take on one of the most iconic symbols in religious jewelry. Crafted in polished 18k yellow gold, this round medal reveals a minimalistic silhouette with a carefully cut-out cross at its center — a powerful void that becomes the very soul of the piece.
This refined design carries deep spiritual significance. The cross is not engraved or raised, but open — a subtle and poetic way to express the idea of faith as something both invisible and ever-present. This openness suggests inner peace, humility, and the divine light that shines through quiet strength. The contrast between the glossy gold surface and the hollow cross adds a layer of visual and symbolic depth, making it a modern yet profoundly spiritual jewel.
With a diameter of 18 mm, the pendant strikes the perfect balance between presence and discretion. It can be worn on its own for a minimalist statement or layered with other necklaces for a more personalized expression. Whether chosen as a baptism gift, a communion keepsake, or a quiet symbol of one’s beliefs, this piece is timeless in its beauty and message.
