The Space Age Collection: Jewelry Inspired By Our Universe

Whether you prefer traveling by space shuttle or flying saucer, our new space-themed Space Age Collection of jewelry has something out of this world for you.

Inspired by our universe, its mysteries, and its infinite surprises, our Space Age Collection of jewelry explores our galaxy and beyond through bronze and sterling silver depictions and interpretations of the solar system, space travel, our neighboring planets, and neighbors we’ve yet to discover. This collection of space jewelry invites you to bring life’s hugest mysteries to your mind and body with uncommon and creative designs and encourages you to embrace how small we are inside this universe.

The Solar Eclipse Necklace is a beautiful, movable necklace featuring a sterling silver moon eclipsing a bronze sun. The moon pendant can slide from side to side to reveal the sun behind it. This mixed metal piece plays up the glow and contrast of silver and bronze, making them work together in a harmonious, interesting piece of jewelry. Choose from an 18-inch 14k gold-filled chain or an 18-inch sterling silver chain for your eclipse necklace.

Wear this necklace to watch the next solar eclipse. There will be a partial one on April 30, 2022, and another partial solar eclipse on October 25, 2022. We’ll get another total solar eclipse in North America in October of 2023.

Our Solar Eclipse Earrings are made to match our Solar Eclipse Necklace.

The two largest planets in our solar system are Jupiter and Saturn. When they’re closest to the earth in their orbit, Jupiter is 365 million miles and Saturn is 746 million miles from us. Eleven planets the size of earth could fit across Jupiter’s middle. Both Jupiter and Saturn are colossal in size and, much like the sun, are made mostly of dense hydrogen. Each planet has a menagerie of moons orbiting it: Saturn has 82 known moons, Jupiter 79.

With the Jupiter and Saturn Hoop Earrings, I’ve drawn attention to the many moons of these planets by focusing on a handful. Jupiter’s moon Europa could have a liquid water ocean under its icy surface. With more than 400 volcanoes, Jupiter’s moon Io is the most geologically active known object in the solar system. Ganymede’s internal ocean may contain more water than all of the oceans on earth combined. Saturn’s moon Titan is bigger than the planet Mercury and is the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere. Saturn and Jupiter with their moons are like their own solar systems in a way, their gravitational pull heating the insides of their surrounding moons so that they teem with activity. It’s believed by many that if we’re going to find another within our solar system where life could form or already exist, it’s here.

The Jupiter and Saturn Hoop Earrings come as a pair with one earring depicting Jupiter with moons and the other featuring Saturn with moons. Gold earrings are made of bronze with 14k gold-filled ear wires that are hypoallergenic. Silver earrings are made of sterling silver with sterling silver ear wires. These planets may be huge in real life, but these earrings’ 2-D design makes them lightweight and comfortable to wear.

One of the most recognizable and easy to find constellations from almost anywhere in the world is Orion, which is part of the reason why I love it so much and chose to make the Orion Constellation Necklace. This necklace features a multi-pointed star shape with the constellation of Orion carved through it. Hold this pendant up and let the light shine through the points of the constellation, chiseled through the pendant with little star-shaped points. The gold Orion necklace features a bronze pendant on a 14k gold-filled 18-inch chain, and the silver Orion necklaces features a sterling silver pendant on an 18-inch sterling silver chain.

The Orion constellation contains two of the 10 brightest stars in the sky, Rigel and Betelgeuse, and several nebulae as well as the Trapezium cluster. It’s a hotbed for stargazing. I love when I can find Orion in the twilit sky even before the sun’s glow has faded all the way from the sky.

The constellation is named for the hunter Orion in Greek mythology and is the shape of a kneeling hunter with bow strung to shoot.

In the currently estimated 100 billion galaxies swimming in the sea of the universe, here we are, sitting on a pale blue dot inside our own Milky Way galaxy, which is 52,850 light years across. If that doesn’t make you feel small, I’m not sure what will. The Milky Way Galaxy Cuff is a band of stars with a golden glow, much like the galaxy as seen from earth. The stars peek through to the inner side of the cuff, so you can hold it up and see the light through them. At one end of the cuff is a sun and the other a crescent moon.

Our transport to another world, the space shuttle carries us beyond our planet. The Space Shuttle Necklace features a hand-carved bronze or sterling silver space shuttle pendant aiming at the Red Planet of Mars, a planet NASA hopes to take humans to for the first time in the 2030s.

The Sun Stud Earrings in our Space Age Collection are a subtle, creative and unusual design, with the sun posed to look as if it wraps around the earlobe rather than sitting in front of it. These radiant discs come in solid bronze or sterling silver, and are versatile enough to wear with anything. I love these sun earrings paired with our Solar System Necklace. Actually I love them paired with everything in our space jewelry collection.

This Solar System Necklace is inspired by the models and scales of the solar system we use to learn the planets. At the center is a bronze or sterling silver sun, followed by the nine planets of our solar system represented by different colorful gemstone beads.

Have you ever looked into the sunset, felt the warmth on your face and considered that this huge ball of light in the sky is actually 93 million miles away from us and appears this large and feels this warm? The distance between the sun, Earth and our neighboring planets is hard to imagine.

Gemstone beads represent each planet in our Solar System Necklace, with a bronze or sterling silver sun at its center.

The Earthrise Crescent Earth Necklace, featuring a bronze crescent earth, was inspired by the famous “Earthrise” photo. During the first manned mission to the. moon in 1968, the astronauts held a live broadcast from lunar orbit, in which they showed a photo of earth taken from their spacecraft on the moon’s surface. It showed the Earth in a waxing phase like we see the moon from down here. During the broadcast, astronaut Jim Lovell said, "The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth."

The U.F.O. Necklace features a flying saucer beaming green light in the form of eerily beautiful peridot beads. The gold version of this alien necklace is made with a bronze U.F.O. and 18-inch 14k gold-filled paperclip-style chain. The silver version is sterling silver with an 18-inch sterling silver cable chain. This necklace is made to pair with our U.F.O. earrings.

In the universe, it’s estimated that there are 100 billion galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy alone has more than 3,200 stars like our sun that have planets orbiting them. Planets like Jupiter and Saturn have dozens of moons, some with atmospheres and water ice. When you consider that, it’s hard to imagine there NOT being life outside of Earth. My U.F.O. necklace and earrings are an homage to the retro imagery of alien flying saucer spacecrafts and the idea that it’s not crazy at all to believe in life out there.

Our U,F.O. Flying Saucer Earrings with Peridot beads are made to match our U.F.O. Necklace.

Looking for U.F.O.s to take me home in my alien costume at our Space Age Collection jewelry photo shoot…

… but also bringing it back down to earth as an astronaut.
