Multi-part CAD model for a complete Eastern Orthodox pectoral cross necklace assembly. The design consists of a central flared-arm cross pendant and three distinct types of interlocking chain links for modular construction. The primary pendant, measuring 50.15mm in height and 29.3mm in width, features a high-relief depiction of Christ Pantocrator with the IC XC Christogram. Below the central figure, the inscription 'NI KA' (Jesus Christ Conquers) is rendered in raised lettering. The reverse of the pendant carries the traditional 'Спаси и сохрани' (Save and Protect) prayer inside a recessed cartouche. The chain is composed of a series of repeating decorative links. The largest links are shield-shaped, measuring 36.33mm, and feature engraved vine motifs and a central equal-armed cross. These connect to smaller 20.14mm oval links with similar engraved decoration, joined by simple 10.03mm diameter jump rings. All components are solid, manifold models designed for lost-wax casting and subsequent assembly. The high-relief elements and recessed inscriptions provide clear definition, suitable for finishing techniques like selective oxidizing to enhance visual depth. The modular file set allows jewelers to adjust chain length by varying the number of links. Mesh topology is clean, importing without issue into standard jewelry CAD platforms for any final adjustments. The substantial weight and size position this as a significant pectoral piece.
No gems specified.

Production & Compatibility
This multi-part necklace set is optimized for lost-wax casting. Each component (pendant, large link, small link, join link) is provided as a separate, watertight mesh. We recommend printing in a high-resolution castable wax resin on an SLA/DLP printer such as those from Formlabs or Asiga to capture the fine details of the relief sculpture and inscriptions. Post-casting, the jump rings are used to assemble the chain to the desired length. The recessed areas, such as the prayer on the reverse, are well-suited for patination or oxidizing to create contrast with the high-polish raised surfaces.
Q: What are the dimensions of the main cross pendant? A: The central cross pendant measures 50.15mm in height, 29.3mm in width, and has a maximum thickness of 9.2mm.
Q: Is this a single model or are the chain links separate? A: This is a modular assembly. The files include the main pendant and three separate chain components: a large decorative link (36.33mm), a smaller oval link (20.14mm), and a connecting jump ring (10.03mm). This allows for customization of the total necklace length during assembly.
Q: What does the inscription on the back of the cross say? A: The reverse of the pendant features a recessed cartouche with the Cyrillic inscription 'СПАСИ И СОХРАНИ', which translates to 'Save and Protect' in English.
