A complex basket-weave pattern forms the core of this Ethiopian Coptic cross pendant, a design that balances intricate openwork with a strong, geometric silhouette. The main body features a detailed latticework panel, framed by solid, tiered architectural elements that provide structure and visual depth. This central woven motif is replicated in a smaller section just below the bail, creating a cohesive, multi-layered appearance. The arms of the cross terminate in faceted, pyramidal shapes, contrasting their smooth, high-polish surfaces against the complexity of the interwoven center. This entire composition measures 40.00mm in total height by 26.00mm wide, establishing a notable presence without excess weight.
The bail itself is a key design element, with a 9.00mm height and a granulated texture at its base that adds another layer of surface detail. The antechamber of the bail has an inner loop dimension of 4.00mm, suitable for a variety of chain styles. The digital model is engineered for precision, ensuring that the negative space within the latticework is cleanly defined for successful 3D printing and casting. The flat-backed design simplifies support structuring for resin printing processes. This jewelry CAD file offers an authentic representation of a culturally significant design, ready for production in precious metals. The clean topology of the mesh ensures it imports reliably into platforms like Rhino or ZBrush for any pre-production adjustments.

Production & Compatibility The intricate openwork and precise geometry of this pendant are ideally suited for high-resolution 3D printing on SLA, DLP, or MSLA systems like those from Formlabs or Asiga, especially using castable wax resins. The flat-backed design simplifies the support strategy for lost-wax casting, minimizing cleanup on the detailed front face. The model's manifold mesh ensures it is slicer-ready for immediate production workflows.
Q: What is the total height of the pendant, including the bail? A: The pendant has an overall height of 40.00mm from the bottom tip of the cross to the highest point of the bail, as indicated in the technical drawing.
Q: How large of a chain can this pendant accommodate? A: The bail features an inner clearance height of 4.00mm, making it suitable for chains with a diameter or clasp size up to approximately 3.5mm to ensure free movement.
Q: Does the latticework pattern go all the way through the piece? A: Yes, the interwoven latticework is an openwork design, meaning the spaces are pierced completely through the 2.00mm thickness of the pendant body, creating a light and detailed effect.
