looking to alter a metal necklace (not a smith)

looking to alter a metal necklace (not a smith)

i inherited a necklace from my recently deceased grandfather depicting the jerusalem cross. due to the symbols current political connotations and religious associations, i can't wear it in it's current state, but i would still like to keep it as a memorial to my grandfather. is there any way the necklace could be altered to resemble an abstract pixel art moreso than a cross? and where would i go to have it done?

(note: before people start fighting about this in the comments, i have no doubt my grandfather was unaware of the political connotations. despite being religious, he was a progressive, and was very supportive when i came out)

edit: i found the original listing for the necklace, and it's made of bronze.
