The cross-within-circle form appears in a range of historical traditions and is commonly associated with seasonal cycles, protection, and continuity. The pendant is cast individually in solid brass using the traditional lost-wax process, then refined by hand through filing and polishing. Deep black enamel is applied to the centre to create contrast while keeping the overall form clean and restrained. In wear, the piece is compact and stable, with enough weight to feel solid without becoming heavy. The polished brass surface gradually develops a natural patina over time, especially with regular handling. Each pendant is made and finished by hand; small differences in tone, texture, and casting marks are part of the process. About the Design Solar cross motifs appear across Norse, Slavic, Baltic, and earlier European material culture. Variations of the symbol have been used in jewellery, carvings, and ritual objects over many centuries, often connected with cyclical and protective themes. Care Instructions Brass naturally darkens over time and may develop a softer patina with wear. To maintain a brighter finish: Keep away from prolonged moisture Wipe dry after contact with water Store in a dry place when not worn Polish gently with a soft cloth if needed
