New Moon Pendant


Chunky, Funky Hardware with a pretty edge.

A progressive stack of retaining rings, glossy steel, matte black steel, and brushed steel, attached to a black ball chain necklace with silver plated jump rings.

The blackened and shining steel, and gleaming silver rings complement each other, creating a interesting pendant that's sure to get a second or third glance.

The "C" Shape of the retaining rings remind me of the night just after a new moon, with a gleaming sliver of moonlight piercing the black night sky.

The Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything


It takes Deep Thought 7½ million years to compute and check The Answer, which turns out to be 42. Unfortunately, The Ultimate Question itself had long been forgotten.

The Answer is stamped onto 1/2 inch discs of sterling silver. The Answer is oxidized, and the sterling silver ear wires are oxidized to match. The discs are then sanded and buffed for a brushed texture.
