The stone is cut like a long, tapered baguette, wider at the top and narrowing toward a small gold sphere at the bottom. It gives the pendant a clean, architectural line and a bit of weight so it always hangs straight.
This pendant hangs from a fine 14k gold cable chain. The centrepiece is a long, tapered baguette-cut gemstone, held in a polished gold cap. The stone has a deep, wine-red colour with vertical facets that catch the light. At the very bottom, a small, solid gold ball adds a full stop to the design. The finish on all the gold is bright and polished.
We make this pendant from solid 14 karat gold, not plated or filled. It’s 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength, which means it’s strong enough for you to wear every day without worrying about it bending. Solid 14k gold also won’t tarnish or discolour over time. And because it's nickel-free, it's a safe choice for sensitive skin. The stone shown is one option; we can set it with a different gemstone if you have something else in mind.

You don't often see a baguette-cut stone set vertically like this. It gives the necklace a graphic, linear quality that’s different from a round solitaire. It’s a simple design, but the specific proportions and the drop-style make it feel considered and not something you’ll see everywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the stone in the Baguette Pendant cut in a tapered shape?
The tapered cut is an intentional design choice that draws the eye downward and makes the pendant hang with a clear, linear direction. This specific shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, works with gravity to keep the pendant from flipping or twisting as you move.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my 14k gold Baguette Pendant?
Yes, you can wear your solid 14k gold pendant in the shower. However, we recommend taking it off before sleeping or exercising to prevent the fine chain from snagging or stretching. Soaps and lotions can also build up behind the stone, so it's good practice to clean it regularly.
How does the Baguette Pendant sit when worn?
The Baguette Pendant is designed to sit flat against your chest, typically just below the collarbone. The weight of the stone and the small gold ball at the bottom help it hang straight and minimize twisting, keeping the stone facing forward throughout the day.
