Princess Diana & Kim Kardashian: The Story of the Attallah Cross

The Attallah Cross was one of the most iconic fashion statements made by the late Princess Diana, who redefined beauty in the 1980s. Garrard created this stunning amethyst cross necklace in the 1920s. Featuring circular-cut diamonds encircling square-cut amethysts. It was regal yet defiant, daring yet feminine.

In 2024, Kim Kardashian brought back this famous piece in Los Angeles. Kim wore the same cross necklace with birthstones that she had purchased at a Sotheby's auction. Combining contemporary glitz with royal history.

To channel this fusion of legacy and luxury, we present the Genuine Purple Amethyst Cross Pendant Necklace in rhodium-plated 925 silver with natural marquise amethysts (0.90 ctw) and the 14K White Gold Natural Pear Amethyst Diamond Cross Pendant featuring pear-cut amethysts and diamonds.
