When you open the locket, you're transported in the cosmos. Planets, stars and nebulas made of Australian opals, with amazing colors and patterns. Engraved is the quote ''per aspera ad astra'', to remind you every day of these important words.

Australian Opal Moonphases NecklaceThis stone is Australian Opal and it is insanely dark, and yet it has a beautiful blue spiderweb-like flash of color. It's adorned by the moon's phases and behind you can find a portrait of the forest at night. Where you have the possibility to admire the stars and the constellations. The sedimentary opal deposits of central Australia occur along generally flat-lying horizontal layers within 30 meters of the earth’s surface. They are a product of a unique set of geological events which occurred over a 100-million-year period. Opals are naturally hydrophane. "Hydrophane" is a name used for a porous stone that has the ability to absorb water. A change in color or transparency often accompanies the water absorption, so beware of the stone getting in contact with water.

Sapphire Celestial Sword NecklaceContinuing my series of swords, here is a new celestial weapon to have in your armory. This sword features he North Star with a heart of sapphire. Sapphire is a precious gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum. It is typically blue, but natural "fancy" sapphires also occur in yellow, purple, orange, and green colors; "parti sapphires" show two or more colors. The only color corundum stone that the term sapphire is not used for is red, which is called a ruby. Pink colored corundum may be either classified as ruby or sapphire depending on locations it is found. Sapphire and rubies are often found in the same geographical settings, but they generally have different geological formations.

Iolite Celestial Sword NecklaceOne more sword to add to the celestial armor series. This sword features a faceted iolite stone, with the behind of the piece cut out so you can admire this stone from all angles. Iolite is a variety of the mineral cordierite. This mineral was named after French geologist Cordier. The name iolite comes from ‘ios’, the Greek word for ‘violet’. Iolite is commonly known as "water sapphire" because of its deep blue sapphire color. In legends, ancient Viking navigators used thin slices of iolite as filters to help locate the sun on cloudy days.

Australian Opal Celestial Key Necklace''Three is a good number, but so is five and seven''. I've recently finished reading The Raven Cycle series and this statement is recurring in the story, so of course I'm obsessed with it now. And it is finally time for the number 7 (I did the other numbers in other pieces in this collection)! Seven as the stars of the big dipper I made here, with Australian opals. This is the 16th Key to the Gate of the Forests. This celestial key is the only one that can open up the gates when night has descended in the woods. Behind is a three-legged spiral, known as triskelion, which I used to symbolize the universe. The stone comes from the Lightning ridge mine in Australia. The sedimentary opal deposits of central Australia occur along generally flat-lying horizontal layers within 30 meters of the earth’s surface. They are a product of a unique set of geological events which occurred over a 100-million-year period. Opals are naturally hydrophane.

Blue Amber Zodiac Wheel Necklace'The Stargazer'. A necklace for those who look up at the night sky and don't just see small burning masses known as stars, that don't just see planets, but see more. They see patterns, they see meaning, and they see a little bit of magic in it too?! This necklace has in its heart a blue coated amber, that you can admire from both sides, as the back is cut-out. The back is also adorned by one of my favorite quotes 'per aspera ad astra'.

Moonstone Moon Phases Kinetic Wheel NecklaceThis idea got to me while I was thinking about another design I made in this collection, 'The Birth Chart' piece. I wanted to make something similar to that, but that could be changed based on the current constellation we are in, not the one there was on your birth. I therefore decided to make it look like a compass, that could spin and indicate it. And that's how it happened. After that, I thought that maybe I should make one also about the movement of the planets, but it was too hard to represent and I couldn't come up with a way to do it, so I asked for help to one of my friends and she suggested I do the moon and its different phases, since I always seem to include it in my pieces. It should have been with a center of blue lapis lazuli like the other one, but I stupidly hammered over it and obviously broke it. Chances were that the only stone I had of the same size that fit was a moonstone, perfect for a piece with the moon!

The Birth Chart - Iolite or Labradorite - Ring or NecklaceContinuing with another astrology themed piece. Here is 'The Birth Chart', everyone has their own unique planetary pattern, so I thought why not make a piece like that? It is available with rose-cut iolite or with a bright blue labradorite. Both will be finished with your own birth chart (with your sun, moon and rising, this here in the picture is just an example) and you will also be able to choose if you want it as a ring or as a necklace.

That's why this charm necklace has five stones. Starting from left: lapis lazuli, sapphire, tanzanite, labradorite and pyrite.

In more recent history, moonstone became popular during the Art Nouveau period.

Genziana Labradorite NecklaceIf you've been following me for a while, you know my love for flowers. And well, there's this one flower that grows in the mountains where I live, that has the most intense blue colors, that just remind me of the dark blue night sky. The Gentiana (Genziana in Italian) is this beautiful flower that blooms on the prairies of mountains and has been considered a magical flower for centuries. In the Middle Ages, it was used for enchantments and potions instead of mandrake, which was more expensive. It was also used as a medicine as it was believed it cured pestilence. The center of the piece features bright blue labradorite, that can be admired also from the back, with a cut out of the piece. Labradorite is a popular decorative stone because of its labradorescence (iridescent optical effect), which usually creates a dazzling optical phenomenon, with a colorful sheen that shimmers in the light.

Rough Kyanite NecklaceKyanite is a typically blue mineral, found in aluminium-rich rocks. Kyanite is also known as disthene or cyanite. Its name comes from the same origin as that of the color cyan, being derived from the Ancient Greek and is generally rendered into English as kyanos or kuanos and means "dark blue". Kyanite has been used as a semiprecious gemstone, which may display cat's eye chatoyancy, though this use is limited by its anisotropism and perfect cleavage. Color varieties include recently discovered orange kyanite from Tanzania. The orange color is due to inclusion of small amounts of manganese in the structure.

Tiger Eye Sun - Brass NecklaceAlthough I usually don't make full brass pieces, I made an exception for this one. It was only fitting that the sun was made in golden material. Did you know that yes, the sun is not on fire? We always think of the sun as like a giant ball of burning fire, and perhaps that is why since ancient times the sun has sometimes been pictured with rays in the shape of flames of a fire. But in truth, the sun is very much not on fire, or not as what we think a conventional fire is. The sun is a giant ball of gas that, thanks to nuclear fusion, emits gamma rays that we eventually perceive as light. And although the scientific version is the correct one, the giant ball of fire is the more picturesque one, so of course I went with that!
