Cross Collection

A family of cross pendants developed from hand-rendered studies through casting and stone-set final pieces for Farhadian Gold.

One symbol, six distinct characters

The cross is immediately recognisable. The design work lies in changing its character without losing the clarity of the symbol.

Each pendant began as a graphite study. I used proportion, negative space, polished surfaces and stone placement to move between architectural, ornamental and softer organic expressions.

The sketches solve the structure; the finished pieces reveal how light completes it.

The collection was developed for Farhadian Gold. My work covered the initial concepts and design development through to hand-off for modeling and production; casting, finishing and stone setting were completed through the workshop.

This page shows a selection from a much larger body of jewelry work.
