Space Couple Pendant

Space Couple Pendant is an innovative piece of jewelry design that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of celestial mechanics and wearable art, created by designer Larisa Zolotova. This sophisticated pendant represents the dynamic interaction between the Sun and Moon through its unique, asymmetrical composition that simulates the mesmerizing phenomenon of a solar eclipse. Distinguished by its organic, free-form shape, the pendant incorporates both pink and white gold elements, crafted through a sophisticated combination of modern 3D CAD design technology and traditional lost-wax casting techniques. The piece's dimensions of 25mm-27mm-7mm and weight of 7 grams make it both substantial and wearable. Its most remarkable feature lies in its innovative construction, which allows for removable elements that enable two distinct wearing configurations, effectively mimicking the orbital motion of celestial bodies during an eclipse. The pendant's design philosophy draws inspiration from astronomical observations, particularly the intricate dance of celestial bodies during solar eclipses, translating these cosmic movements into wearable art. This exceptional piece of jewelry, recognized with an Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, demonstrates outstanding craftsmanship through its balanced asymmetrical composition and versatile wearing options. The design successfully merges contemporary technological approaches with classical jewelry-making techniques, resulting in a piece that not only serves as an aesthetic adornment but also as a mechanical representation of celestial phenomena.
