Planetary Necklace

"Planetary Necklace" In the future, starship crewmembers will collect beads representing the planets they have visited, much as we make charm bracelets today. This replica of a starship pilot's necklace was made from painted polymer clay beads representing eleven planets, embellished with painted polymer clay spacers and lampwork spacers from Five Fish Designs. The base necklace is black rubber tubing over beading wire. The clasp is from Saki Silver. Click the thumbnails to view the full-sized images.
