Inspired by Julie’s post about the solar system marbles, I have been searching for similar items. I found a vendor on Etsy that uses sterling silver wire and stone beads to create solar system jewelry, like this necklace. The necklace has a selectable length of 15.75″ to 19.7″. The planets are natural stone beads made of: smokey quartz, coral, azurite, red agate, labradorite, lace agate, sand jasper, dark blue turquoise, and light blue turquoise. Naturally, the stones are not sized to scale; the artist has chosen sizes that show differences between the planets but still remain wearable. You can choose a necklace representing only the eight planets for $96.00, or you can add Pluto ($99.00) or all of the dwarf planets ($111.00). Buy the Solar System Necklace, or check out all of MirielDesign‘s offerings on Etsy.
