The Gilded Path

How many designs are there, and how do I choose?

Twelve stone-set designs, each shown in its own photo. Full Pavé and Slim Pavé are the most sparkling, Heart Center and Star Center add a motif, and Slim Channel is the most discreet.

How does the adjustable oval link chain of The Gilded Path sit?

It adjusts from 41 to 50 cm (about 16 to 20 in). Wear it short at the base of the neck with a crew neck, or let the cross drop to the upper chest over a lower neckline.

What is the Flared design of The Gilded Path?

A cross whose arms widen toward the tips, a shape found on many medieval crosses, lined with clear zircon stones. It is one of the twelve designs, each shown in its own photo.

Will the gold plating on The Gilded Path wear around the zircon stones?

Not quickly with normal wear. The steel underneath does not rust, and the plating lasts longest if you put the necklace on after lotion and perfume and take it off for cleaning with chemicals.

Is The Gilded Path refined enough to wear to the office every day?

Yes. Each design is a row of clear stones along a slim cross on a fine oval link chain, elegant rather than loud, and the adjustable length sits neatly above most work necklines.

What are the clear stones on The Gilded Path?

Zircon stones, set in a row along each arm of the cross. They give a bright, diamond-like sparkle but are not diamonds.

Four kids, alone, and every Sunday. She probably never thought anyone was counting. You were. The Gilded Path is a cross lined with small stones, for a mother who wants her faith visible every day.
