The design combines a simple circular form with a cross structure commonly associated with seasonal and solar symbolism in historical ornament. It is cast in solid brass using the traditional lost-wax method, then polished and finished by hand. The red enamel centre adds contrast while keeping the overall form compact and restrained. The pendant is lightweight and sits comfortably on a cord or chain. Over time, the brass may darken naturally and develop a softer patina through wear. Each piece is individually cast and finished; small marks, tonal differences, and subtle irregularities are part of the process. About the Design Solar cross motifs appear in many early European decorative traditions and are among the oldest geometric symbols associated with cycles, movement, and seasonal change. Variations of the form can be found in Norse, Baltic, and Slavic material culture.
