Lab-grown diamond X letter pendant: the cross that defines light
The X for Xavier, Xavière, or Xénia — a mysterious and graphic letter, two diagonals crossing like a kiss or a secret. Set with lab-grown diamonds, it intrigues and sparkles.
Lab-grown diamond: the real diamond, more responsible
The X is paved with genuine lab-grown diamonds (CVD/HPHT), identical to mined diamonds: 10/10 Mohs, D-F / VVS clarity, brilliant white fire. An ethical origin and controlled price.
A cross of brilliance
The two strokes of the X meet at their center and reflect light in four directions. A strong and symbolic initial — the X of mystery, of the kiss, of the unique.

The X of a rare name, or a kiss signed on the skin: a meaningful gift to give or to treat yourself.

The X, an initial that is read before it is deciphered
Wearing a letter is not wearing a pattern: it is wearing a name. That of Xavier, Xénia, or Ximena, yours, or that of someone who matters. This is what distinguishes a gold letter pendant from any other pendant: it says nothing to others and everything to you.
The X offers a perfect crossing, symmetrical in both directions, and that is decisive: the construction of a letter determines how it catches the light once paved with lab-grown diamonds. The X is among the initials rarely available in store windows, as boutiques stop at common letters — that is why we produce the entire alphabet.
Lab-grown diamond: what it is, what it is not
Lab-grown diamond is diamond: same carbon, same structure, same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale. Only its origin changes, as it is grown instead of mined — it can therefore never be called natural. This is what makes a gold and diamond letter pendant accessible where the natural stone would require a much more modest pavé. Not to be confused with moissanite or cubic zirconia.
What size, what metal, what chain?
Five sizes, from 25.4 mm to 76.2 mm
-
1 to 1.5 inches: discreet, worn under a shirt. The most popular size for a gift.
-
2 inches: the compromise, immediately visible but comfortable all day long.
-
2.5 to 3 inches: the statement piece, worn over clothing, on a sturdy chain.
925 Silver, 10K, 14K, or 18K Gold
925 silver is the entry-level, very white, which oxidizes in the air. 10K gold is the hardest of the four and the most scratch-resistant. 14K gold offers the best balance of strength and content for daily wear. 18K gold has the deepest color, but it is the softest metal.
And the chain
Not included, it is what sets the height of the wear: 50 cm near the collarbone, 55 to 60 cm on the sternum, 65 cm and more for a low hang. A 3-inch piece on a thin chain will sag and strain the clasp.

Frequently asked questions
Is the chain provided?
No, the pendant is sold alone, with an integrated bail. A letter pendant necklace consists of: the letter and its size first, then a chain whose thickness matches the weight.
Is a letter suitable for both men and women?
Yes: it is one of the few pieces of jewelry whose gender depends on the format, not the design. A men's letter pendant is usually chosen in 2 to 3 inches on a thick chain, a women's initial necklace in 1 to 1.5 inches on a fine link chain.
14K gold or 18K gold?
For daily wear, 14K gold withstands friction better. The 18-karat gold letter pendant, on the other hand, offers a deeper color and a more flattering density in the hand.
