Imperial Enamel & Orthodox Cross Pendant Designs
The Russian jewelry tradition gained international recognition through the House of Fabergé, founded in 1842, which created elaborate egg pendants and enamel pieces for the Romanov court. Our pendants reference this heritage through similar techniques: layered enamel over engine-turned metal, filigree scrollwork, and cabochon-set gemstones in ornate bezels. Many pieces feature the distinctive Russian Orthodox cross with its three horizontal bars, including the slanted footrest associated with the crucifixion narrative in Eastern Christian iconography. Enamel work in these pendants uses the cloisonné method, where thin silver wires create compartments filled with colored glass paste, then fired at high temperatures to fuse with the metal. Guilloché enamel involves engraving precise patterns into the silver surface before applying translucent enamel, creating depth and movement as light passes through. Each pendant is set in .925 sterling silver, the standard for fine silver jewelry. SilverRush Style has offered Russian style pieces since 2005.

Russian style pendants feature design elements from imperial-era workshops and Orthodox religious art. Common characteristics include Fabergé-inspired egg shapes, three-bar Orthodox crosses, cloisonné and guilloché enamel techniques, and ornate filigree metalwork developed in St. Petersburg during the 18th and 19th centuries.
What is the difference between cloisonné and guilloché enamel?
Cloisonné uses thin metal wires soldered to the surface to create compartments that hold different enamel colors. Guilloché involves engraving geometric patterns directly into the metal, then covering them with translucent enamel so the design shows through with a sense of depth.
Are these pendants made with real sterling silver?
Yes. All pendants in this collection are made with .925 sterling silver, meaning 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for durability. This is the international standard for sterling silver jewelry.
