Frequently asked question

How to care for a gold and diamond cross necklace?

To preserve the shine of your yellow gold diamond cross necklace, we recommend regular cleaning with warm water and mild soap. Particular attention should be paid to the diamond settings, which can accumulate impurities. As with all diamond necklaces from our Maison, we recommend storing it separately to prevent the chain from becoming tangled and bringing it to us periodically for a professional check of the setting.

Can a cross necklace be worn with other jewellery?

The choice of gold depends on the collection and the desired style, according to the codes established by the Maison; rose gold is preferred for the Les Muses or Giardino collections, bringing a romantic and contemporary softness to historical symbols. Yellow gold: enhanced with pieces from the Color Queen or Riviera collections, to emphasise the sparkle of the precious stones and the sunny aspect of the jewellery. For a very elegant look, the collection can be worn with our Maglia pieces in white gold, adding great luminosity.

What inspired the cross necklaces in the Mellerio collection?

Our cross necklaces draw inspiration from the heritage of the Italian Renaissance, the birthplace of the Mellerio family. This influence is expressed in two ways: nature and gardens. For the Giardino collection, inspiration comes from Italian gardens, combining the rigour of the cross with the fluidity of plants. History and exploration: as with the Pinta necklace, which references Christopher Columbus's ships, linking the jewellery to ancestral symbols reimagined by the Maison. Our artisans also offer exceptional pieces with the Color Queen crosses, true works of fine jewellery that will add a new sparkle to all your outfits.

What does a cross necklace symbolise?

The cross motifs of the lines dedicated to the 17th and 18th centuries add a touch of boldness to the Art Nouveau-inspired creations and esoteric evocations of the chapter devoted to the 19th century. Referencing Christopher Columbus's ships, the Pinta necklace bears witness to the four centuries of history and origins of the House of Mellerio.
