- Yes! Our MiniVerse Solar System jewelry series has been featured by BuzzFeed, MAKE:, NASA, The Planetary Society, and NPR's Science Friday!
- Return to Pluto's glory days as an official Planet! Our MiniVerse 2004 model celebrates the Solar System with 9 Planets, before all of that nonsense in '05 about how big a planet needs to be :) An Awesome gift for Students, Teachers, and Space Geeks: Wear this beautiful Map of the Solar System and show off your love of Space and the Planets.
- Measure the Distances of Space! Each planet is measured out on the bracelet according to its' distance from the Sun. 1 Bead = ~50 Million Miles. Planets and Sun are enlarged for dramatic emphasis*. (*not for actual space navigation). A Diagram of the Solar System is included with each bracelet, detailing the Distance Measurements and Gemstones.
- Beautiful Gemstones and Mother-of-Pearl beads represent each planet: Mercury & Venus (crazy lace agate), Earth (sodalite), Mars (red jasper), Jupiter (leopard jasper), Saturn (agate, mother-of-pearl), Uranus (fluorite), Neptune (aventurine) and Pluto (picture jasper). (Not sure about Pluto? Please see our shop for the "current" 8-planet Miniverse, and the Adjustable "We Love Pluto" version.)
- Handmade in Boulder Creek, California. We are a small, 2-person shop and we make everything ourselves. Our goal is to design and make beautiful intelligent jewelry pieces, and create unique ideas we've never seen before. Please contact us about Custom Orders - this bracelet can be made any length or as an Anklet. Please visit our page for the matching MiniVerse Solar System Necklace and other Solar System Jewelry!
