Medieval Kyivan Rus Cross with Real Red Enamel – Handmade Brass Pendant from Ukraine

Medieval Kyivan Rus Body Cross with Real Red Enamel – Handmade in Ukraine

This remarkable Byzantine / Medieval / Kyivan Rus cross pendant is a faithful handmade replica inspired by Christian art from the 10th–14th centuries. Each piece is cast in solid brass reclaimed from battlefield cartridges in Ukraine and finished with real red enamel on both sides, representing faith, courage, and eternal spirit.

Crafted by Ukrainian artisans in the Sumy region, this pendant is created using the ancient lost wax casting method — every cross begins as a hand-modeled beeswax sculpture, later transformed into brass and polished by hand. The result is an authentic historical jewelry piece that carries both sacred symbolism and modern resilience.

The red enamel adds warmth and vitality, echoing the Byzantine color of divine energy and sacrifice. More than an ornament, this cross is a symbol of endurance, cultural pride, and faith reborn through the hands of craftsmen who continue their art amid war and uncertainty.
