The Nova Pendant (Silver)
The Nova Pendant (Silver)
If you follow my Instagram stories, you know this design started as a pure experiment. I wanted to capture a true shooting star vibe, but I hadn't seen any star charms out there quite like what I was envisioning. The entire concept grew out of a creative spark to see how far I could push the movement and fluid styling of fine silver.
After polling you all for feedback on the initial design, I decided to offer it in three distinct variations so it can be completely customized to what you want it to look like.
The Fine Silver Nova Pendant is hand-sculpted from premium fine silver to give it a brilliant sense of movement and a heavy, substantial visual weight. At the heart of the main star sits a spectacular, prominent 9mm round Old European Cut cubic zirconia, held securely by a thick, seamless bezel. The back features a hand-carved open azure window to let the light dance completely through the antique facets. It is a true statement heirloom piece, built from your feedback, and meant to accompany you through your journey.
Design Options
- Standard: Features one embedded eyelet and one silver jump ring.
- Connector/Extender: Features two embedded eyelets at points 2 and 5 with two jump rings to style as a link or chain extender.
- Shooting Star: Features the fine silver main star cascading into three delicate sterling silver rolo chains. Each chain drops down to hold its own hand-sculpted silver star, including one meticulously set with a bright 3mm cubic zirconia.
