Beaded Octagram Cross Medallion Pendant

A radiant eight-point star coiled around a heraldic cross. This pendant-style relief builds an octagram from two interlocking bands of triangular rays, every edge lined with a row of raised beads that read like tiny rivets catching the light. The rays spiral inward toward a twisted rope ring, and at the dead centre sits a crisp cross pattée crowned by a small six-petal rosette. A solid ring bail rises from the top point, so the piece works equally as a hanging ornament, a large keyring charm, or a decorative medallion pinned to a board. The geometry is strictly radial and mirror-symmetrical, which makes it a satisfying showcase for a clean carve or a sharp print. It suits makers drawn to sacred-geometry and heraldic motifs, festive star decorations, or anyone assembling a set of matching medallions. Print notes: • Runs beautifully as a flat 2.5D relief — carve into hardwood or acrylic on a CNC, or lay it face-up on the bed in resin for the sharpest bead definition. • Check the bail hole before hanging heavier stock; open it up slightly if you plan to thread thick cord or a jump ring. • On FDM, a 0.4 mm nozzle with 0.12 mm layers keeps the beaded rows distinct — a light sanding or chamfer pass knocks back stringing between points.
