Handmade Kyivan Rus Body Cross with Real Yellow Enamel – Cast in Brass from Battlefield Cartridges
This historic Byzantine / Medieval-style cross is a faithful Kyivan Rus replica created by Ukrainian artisans in the Sumy region. Each pendant is hand-cast in solid brass reclaimed from real military cartridges, transforming metal of war into a symbol of light and renewal.
The real yellow enamel, applied on both sides, represents hope, divine light, and the golden spirit of Ukraine. Made with the ancient lost-wax casting technique, every cross begins as a beeswax model and is finished by hand, ensuring no two are ever alike.
More than jewelry, this is patriotic art — a link between 10th-century Kyivan faith and modern Ukrainian resilience.
