A high-relief sculpture of Archangel Michael defines this Eastern Orthodox cross pendant, measuring 29 mm in total height including its integrated bail. The archangel is rendered in a classical style, holding a staff in his right hand and a globus cruciger (orb) in his left, symbolizing spiritual authority. The entire composition features a maximum depth of 3.00 mm, creating a substantial yet wearable profile. Behind the figure, the cross bears the traditional Christogram "ІС ХС" (Jesus Christ) in crisply raised Cyrillic lettering on its horizontal bar.
The detail in this jewelry CAD file is concentrated in the archangel's form, from the individually sculpted feathers of the wings that span the width of the cross to the soft, natural folds of the drapery. A patterned halo encircles the archangel's head, adding another layer of texture without obscuring the silhouette. The base of the pendant provides a solid foundation for the figure, ensuring structural integrity during the 3D printing and investment casting process. The model's clean surfaces and defined edges are designed for high-resolution resin printing, capturing every subtlety of the original digital sculpt.
This STL file is prepared for a successful lost-wax casting workflow, featuring clear undercuts and separations that will translate well into a finished metal piece. The bail is a simple, sturdy ring integrated directly into the top of the cross, suitable for a variety of chain styles. The design offers a robust representation of the Archangel as a protector, making it a compelling piece for personal devotion. The file is optimized to import cleanly into standard jewelry software like Rhino or Matrix for any minor adjustments or sprue placement planning.

Q: What is the maximum thickness of this pendant? A: The pendant has a maximum thickness, or relief depth, of 3.00 mm, measured from the flat back of the cross to the highest point of the Archangel figure.
Q: What do the letters "ІС ХС" on the crossbar mean? A: The letters are a traditional Cyrillic Christogram for "Jesus Christ" (Ісусъ Христосъ), which is a characteristic feature of Eastern Orthodox religious iconography.
Q: Is the bail large enough for a thick chain? A: The bail is integrated into the 29.00 mm total height and is proportionally sized for light to medium-weight chains. For a very heavy or thick chain, the bail may need to be scaled up in CAD software.
