Product Details: This versatile piece transforms between a necklace length of 16.5 inches and a bracelet length measuring 7.5 inches. It features Mesa Verde® Peridot, Montana Sapphire, Oregon Sunstone, and Yogo Sapphire, with a celestial-themed enamel centerpiece that reflects designer Susan Burde's signature style.
The creation process began with Susan's hand-drawn design on an iPad, which was refined using 3D CAD software and then 3D printed and cast in recycled sterling silver. The gemstones are prong-set to highlight their vibrant colors, while celestial elements - moon, stars, and sun rays - are enhanced with bonded 22k gold. The central Earth element was hand-painted and torch-fired with vitreous enamel. The piece is meticulously assembled and polished, and can be worn as a bracelet simply by removing the chain extension.
