Production & Compatibility

This pendant model is optimized for high-resolution 3D printing. - Printing: Best results are achieved with SLA/DLP/MSLA printers using castable resins to capture the fine details of the relief sculpture and the Cyrillic engraving. - Casting: The design is suitable for standard lost-wax investment casting. The openwork lattice requires careful burnout to ensure complete evacuation of the resin. - Assembly: The articulated bail is modeled as a separate component, which simplifies the casting and final polishing process before assembly.

Q: What is the inscription on the back of the pendant? A: The reverse side is engraved with the Cyrillic prayer "СПАСИ И СОХРАНИ", which translates to "Save and Protect". This is a common inscription on Eastern Orthodox crosses.

Q: What is the largest chain this pendant can accommodate? A: The bail's internal clearance is 5.96mm tall. This is suitable for most light to medium-weight chains, likely accommodating widths up to 4mm depending on the clasp style.

Q: Is the openwork pattern on the cross body fully pierced through? A: Yes, the renders show a lattice-style openwork pattern that fully perforates the 3.88mm thick body of the cross, creating a lightweight and visually detailed design.
