A traditional budded cross with rounded, flared ends for a bold yet timeless look. This budded cross necklace on a 3mm rope chain is crafted by expert jewelers and is a must-have for anyone starting or adding to their luxury jewelry collection. Wear it solo or layer it with your favorite chain.
24K Gold
Real 24K gold bonded to hypoallergenic steel using next-gen PVD technology for a waterproof, sweat-proof and scratch-resistant shine that won't fade.
Our materials
Every piece starts with a solid core of 316L steel, the same premium metal trusted in luxury watches, and is finished in real gold using PVD bonding. You get the look and weight of solid gold without the solid-gold price tag.
Sealed with anti-tarnish protection, it resists fading and scratches and keeps its shine.

Are Riveting Jewelry pieces made with real gold?
Yes. Every piece is finished in real 14K, 18K or 24K gold, bonded to hypoallergenic 316L steel using PVD technology. You get the look of solid gold with better durability, at a fraction of the price.
Will the color fade?
No. Our pieces are gold-bonded, not gold-plated: the gold is permanently bonded to the steel with PVD. That makes a much stronger, longer-lasting finish that resists fading far better than traditional plating.
What if I choose the wrong length or change my mind?
No problem. We offer easy returns within 14 days of delivery. Just reach out and we'll set you up with a refund, an exchange or store credit.
Can I shower or work out in it?
Yes. Riveting Jewelry is built to handle sweat, showers and everyday wear. We just recommend keeping it away from long exposure to chlorine and harsh chemicals like bleach.
