Cosmogram

"“MiniVerse” Solar System Necklace
Proportional Distances of the Solar System measured in Beads

You are Here!
A beaded necklace demonstrating the relative distances
between the planet orbits in our Solar System.

Distances between planet orbits are proportionally accurate,
with each tiny black glass bead representing
approximately ~20 million miles / ~32 million kilometers of Space.

A wearable version of an astrometric chart,
with stone, glass, and shell beads representing the sun and planets,
this solar system necklace is a decorative cosmogram,
inspiring thoughts of the vastness of Space.

Planets and sun are enlarged for dramatic emphasis*.

*Not for use in actual Space Navigation

This necklace includes the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth & our Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the popular controversial dwarf planet Pluto, representing the Kuiper belt. Planets with many moons are accented with opalescent glass beads.

Length: 19 inches / 40 centimeters
Copper Magnetic Clasp"
