Rare Ancient Kiev Crucifix

A rare and historically significant artifact, this Ancient Kiev Novgorod bronze pendant dates to circa 1320–1380, a period rich in Eastern European cultural and spiritual tradition. Created using sand casting techniques, the piece reflects the craftsmanship and material culture of medieval Rus’, where such objects often carried symbolic or devotional meaning.

Preserved in its original bronze form and elevated with a 0.73 carat diamond setting, the pendant bridges centuries of history with refined modern artistry. The contrast between the ancient, time-worn surface and luminous diamonds creates a powerful dialogue between past and present.

This piece stands as both a collector’s antiquity and a wearable work of art, offering a tangible connection to a distant era while embodying Gretchen Ventura’s signature approach to intentional luxury.
