Common Themes

Okay, so. Usually I have the whimsical thing for you on Mondays. The suggestion of space thing, the stylized thing, the imaginative thing, the inspired-by thing. Don’t say I never deliver the REAL goods: an absolutely 100% GENUINE meteorite ring.

This ring features a genuine Nantan meteorite! The Nantan meteorite fell to earth, landing in China in May of 1516 during the reign of the Chinese Emperor Zhengde. It is comprised mainly of iron. The meteorite is set on an open-design band of Argentium sterling silver.

I really like the crackle glaze on this ceramic pendant I found. It’s very unusual, and I love the detailing on the moon.

Whether you believe or are skeptical, one thing is for sure…UFO’s are cool and fun to think about! This is a great new design for all the space cadets out there!

The necklace is painted in a crackle glaze with black, yellow and white details. As the glaze cools in the kiln after the second firing process, tiny cracks appear in the glaze, creating a really great antique type finish to the glaze. There is a hint of green to this glaze that makes it a lovely compliment to most skin tones.

What appeals to me about this set of stacking rings is their rugged finish — they remind me of fusion-crusty meteorites and worn, pitted (by cosmic rays and space dust?) metal. The rose gold adds a striking note of purity amongst all that patina.

A pair of delicate stacking rings in sterling silver and red (rose) gold.

One little moonrock with an orbiting 9 carat gold satellite, both on delicate bands. The silver is oxidised, then the surface of the moonrock is polished back to bright, leaving the craters contrasting. The bands are left black and buffed to shininess, like coal.

This asymmetric planet necklace is from a commenter’s Etsy shop — once I looked at their profile, I had to see if they had something “spacey”, because I just love wood. The wooden halves remind me of moon (or planet!) phases, and the plainness of the chain really adds an “orbit” feel. (I don’t normally like asymmetrical jewelry, and it takes phenomenal effort on my part to MAKE asymmetrical jewelry, but there’s just something about this piece..!)

3dots has some beautiful stuff in her shop, check it out!

Glazed porcelain looks beautiful and dreamy (to me), and this pendant is no exception. The artwork style is very retro; strikes me as Russian-influenced, actually.

A vintage rocket ship motif complete with a planet and stars! I glazed this porcelain piece in a lovely glossy transparent green. This design comes from my personal collection of antique and vintage buttons and will not be found anywhere else so be assured that you will be getting a unique necklace.
