Over the Moon for New Jewelry: Meet the Lunar Collection
May 05, 2017 | Filed in: Your Closet
Our latest jewelry collection, designed in collaboration with Italian craftsman Delfino Ferrari, features a lineup of sophisticated earrings and necklaces that look just as sharp in meetings as they do at rooftop happy hours. Perhaps the latter scenario got us thinking about starlit skies, or maybe we’ve been spending too much time mesmerized by NASA’s incredible new images of Saturn (if you haven’t checked the Cassini spacecraft’s live feed yet, you’re in for a treat); but this jewelry’s round, organic shapes reminds us of asteroids, planet rings, and orbital patterns. Without further ado, we present the Lunar Collection.
The Phoebe earrings
NASA describes Phoebe as one of Saturn’s most “intriguing” moons—she orbits in the opposite direction and at a greater distance than the rest of her planet’s celestial family. In other words, Phoebe can hold her own—just like these sophisticated, sculptural teardrops.
The Elara earrings
One of Jupiter’s smaller moons, Elara is believed to have once been a chunk of asteroid. Part of a group of five moons known as the Himalia group, its orbital patterns are constantly changing based on its proximity to the sun and other interplanetary forces. To exude a similar air of mystery, reach for these earrings, crafted from linked pairs of five slender hoops that sway ever so slightly when you move.
The Helene necklace
An irregularly-shaped moon of Saturn, Helene has been dubbed “the ice queen” for its frozen surface. Helene shares an orbit with another one of Saturn’s moons, so we felt it only fitting to name our interlocking chain necklace in her honor.
The Callisto earrings
The twisted, textured Callisto earrings are complex and fascinating to study, just like their lunar namesake. Discovered in 1610 by Gallileo, Callisto is the second-largest moon of Jupiter, and its surface is the oldest and most heavily cratered in the solar system.
The Telesto earrings
A small moon of Saturn, Telesto appears strikingly craterless. Much like these sleek earrings, its beauty lies in its soft, reflective quality.
The Europa necklace
With the smoothest surface of any known object in the solar system, Europa is criss-crossed with copper-colored cracks and streaks, making it a fitting namesake for this necklace of linked rectangular shapes, handmade from brass.
The Oberon earrings
Named after the mythical king of the fairies in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Oberon moon is covered in craters resulting from asteroid and comet impacts. Fittingly, the Oberon earrings have a grooved texture and imperfectly circular silhouettes.
