What Makes It Uncommon

"Science is magic that works." On December 25, 2021, that became truer than ever when the James Webb Space Telescope—which can "see" galaxies 13.6 billion light years away—was launched. Daniel Charpentier, inspired by the telescope's 24-karat-gold–coated primary mirror and its honeycomb pattern, created these beautiful, wearable minis to express his love of space, astronomy, and science in general.

  • Daniel laser-cuts the ⅞" shapes from mirror acrylic glass, hand-finishes them, paints the backs, and hangs them from 14k-gold-plated brass earring wires.
  • The lightweight earrings come in nicely giftable packaging for your stylishly geeky friends.
  • Handmade in Michigan.

"I want to find, express and celebrate the beauty in science."

Daniel Charpentier might not be an astronaut, but he loves the cosmos as if he were. Born in the Netherlands, Daniel was trained in the biotech field. When he and his wife moved to the US, however, he was ready for a new adventure. Inspired by the honeycomb patterns of the James Webb Space Telescope, Daniel began crafting pieces that live at the intersection of space and design?all with the aim of helping others appreciate science.

Cool but...

These are cool looking and very bright. People notice when you're wearing them. However, I expected them to have more weight. They feel very plasticie (not sure if that's how you spell that). Anyway, still cool, just inexpensive for a reason.

I get many, many compliments

absolutely love these. was a bit surprised because they are plastic. but they show as gold. FLAG: i get a lot of complements, esp from a certain demographic of men (nerdy dudes) when i wear these. to the non-space enthusiast, they're honeycomb beehives. but the ones who notice are VERY excited haha

Great Earrings!

Gave these as a gift and they were a hit! They are crafted to resemble the mirroring effect of the telescope-very cool!

LOVE

I love these earrings!!! I wear them several times a week. They are beautiful, intricate, and light enough that they don't cause any discomfort when wearing them all day. Anyone with an interest in the JWST can easily identify them but even those who think they're just honeycombs still compliment how pretty they are.

Can these be had as clip-ons for a woman whose ears are not pierced?
