Description

This Orthodox cross pendant features a detailed high-relief portrait of Saint Nicholas centered within a roundel. The saint is depicted holding a book, haloed against a stippled background, and framed by a beaded border. Each arm of the flared cruciform body is decorated with symmetrical rococo-style scrollwork, terminating in a stylized rosette. The lower section presents an oval cartouche with a six-winged seraph relief. The pendant measures 31.00mm in width and 25.00mm in height, with a solid, unadorned bail at the top for chain suspension. The model is provided as a watertight mesh suitable for direct 3D printing and lost-wax casting.

No gems specified.

Production & Compatibility

This pendant model is optimized for high-resolution resin 3D printing on SLA, DLP, or MSLA systems (e.g., Formlabs, Anycubic Photon, Elegoo Mars series). The high-relief details of the saint's vestments and the seraph's wings are well-defined for successful lost-wax casting using standard castable resins. The completely flat back simplifies mold-making or allows for direct printing on the build plate without complex supports. The model is supplied as a manifold mesh, ready for immediate slicing and production.

Q: What is the inner diameter of the bail? A: The bail is a solid, open C-shape. While the inner diameter isn't specified, its scale relative to the 31mm width suggests it can accommodate chains up to approximately 3mm thick. It can also be easily adjusted in any CAD software before printing.

Q: How deep is the relief detail on the Saint Nicholas portrait? A: The images show a high-relief design intended to provide significant depth and shadow for a piece of its 25mm height. This makes it well-suited for casting methods that can capture fine textures, like the stippled background and iconographic details.

Q: Can this model be scaled down significantly? A: While scaling is possible, reducing the 31mm width substantially may compromise the legibility of the fine scrollwork, the seraph's wings, and the facial features of the Saint Nicholas relief. It is recommended to produce the pendant close to its specified dimensions for best results.
