Kyivan Rus Cross with Red Enamel – Handmade Pewter Byzantine Replica

Hand-cast medieval-style Kyivan Rus cross with deep red enamel, crafted in pewter using traditional lost-wax techniques.

This handcrafted pewter pendant draws inspiration from Christian cross forms of the 10th–14th century Kyivan Rus and the Byzantine tradition. Cast using the lost-wax method, it preserves the balanced proportions and restrained geometry characteristic of medieval devotional jewellery.

Each pendant is individually cast and finished by hand, then coated with real red enamel on both sides. The rich enamel surface creates a warm contrast against the pewter, echoing the appearance of historical pieces found across Eastern Europe.

The design remains simple and historically grounded, focused on craftsmanship, material, and the continuation of traditional metalworking practices still preserved in Ukraine today.
