Pale Blue Dot Pendant #2 - Kingman Turquoise and Sterling Silver

Carl Sagan said it best:

“Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.” -Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space

These little Kingman turquoise beauties remind me of tiny little planet earths. Planet Earth is the only home that we have ever known, and wearing this necklace makes me feel a sense of camaraderie with all fellow beings living together on this pale blue dot -- we're all in this together!

All of my jewelry is handmade with love in my studio. No two pieces I create are exactly alike; they will have natural imperfections - this is what separates handmade jewelry from the soulless, the machine-made, and the mass-produced. Metalsmithing is a slow and meticulous craft; many hours are put into every detail to create a unique piece of wearable art, which, with proper care, will last a lifetime. Thank you for supporting handmade!
