The solar system is amazing, the universe hard to comprehend…when I think about the vastness of all that exists outside of our small blue planet I feel utterly small and insignificant, but I am also gobsmacked by the beauty of all that we can see and that we don’t know.

These earrings are inspired by the solar system that we call home. A tiny sun is surrounded by concentric circles that represent the orbits of the planets (I did use some artistic license by including only half of the planets). Measuring approximately 1 3/4 inches long by 1 1/4 inch wide, they are entirely handmade from oxidized recycled sterling silver and brass.

All jewelry is handmade from a minimum of 50% reclaimed materials. Each piece is unique, so the item you receive will vary slightly from the photograph. A percentage of every sale is donated to a non-profit environmental, humanitarian, or arts organization. Thank you for supporting sustainable craft!
