OUR STORY

I began with a simple bracelet representing our solar system, using natural stone beads to give each world its own character. The choice of material was important. There seemed something fitting about using pieces of our own planet to represent the celestial neighbors we have spent centuries observing, studying, and dreaming about reaching.

From there, the designs grew.

One of my favorite parts of creating an Astrarium bracelet is finding ways to represent something immense in something very small—searching for a sterling silver component that can suggest Saturn’s rings, an asteroid belt, a comet, a spiral galaxy, or one of the instruments we’ve sent into space to help us see farther than we ever could on our own.

The representations aren’t meant to be exact. They’re small symbols of very big things, chosen to make each bracelet a kind of wearable map of the universe.

At its heart, though, Astrarium comes back to the feeling that started it all.

I wanted to feel closer to the universe by carrying it with me every day, while remaining grounded to the Earth through the natural materials against my skin.

My hope is that an Astrarium piece creates a little of that connection for someone else, too—a quiet, perhaps unseen bridge between ourselves, the planet we call home, and everything beyond it.
