I got this cross from my relatives and then enamelled it. Silver is getting tarnished quite fast and cleaning such a big piece of jewelry on regular basis is not fun, so jewelry-grade enamel not only brings the colours into this piece, but also protects the metal from oxidation.
Hot-enamelled by me.
This gorgeous set made with authentic Late Medieval bronze with some gold plate artifact (over 500 years old)
Hormizd – King of Kings set has an authentic silver artifact from Persia aged over 1400 years. A pendant in the Horzmid set is a silver used-to-be coin (drachm) struck in 580’s.
