Kyivan Rus Cross with Black Enamel – Handmade Pewter Byzantine Replica

Hand-cast medieval-style Kyivan Rus cross with real black enamel, crafted in pewter using traditional techniques.

This handcrafted pewter pendant is inspired by Christian cross designs of the 10th–14th century Kyivan Rus and Byzantine world. Made using the lost-wax casting method, it reflects the form, proportions, and clean geometry often found in medieval devotional jewelry.

Each piece is cast and finished by hand, then coated with real black enamel on both sides, giving the pendant a deep, refined contrast reminiscent of historical pieces uncovered in Eastern European archaeological finds.

The design maintains a simple, grounded aesthetic—focusing on historical accuracy, craftsmanship, and the continuity of an old tradition still practiced today in Ukraine.
