About Star Map گردنبند

نقشه ستارگان یک گردنبند سفارشی است که آسمان شب را همان‌طور که در زمان و مکانی خاص و منتخب دیده می‌شود، به نمایش می‌گذارد. آویز این گردنبند دارای حکاکی تیره‌ای از صورت‌های فلکی، خطوط مداری و کهکشان راه شیری است، در حالی که برش‌های دایره‌ای شکل نشان‌دهنده سیارات منظومه شمسی هستند. هر آویز قطری برابر با ۳۱.۷۵ میلی‌متر و ضخامتی برابر با ۱.۴ میلی‌متر دارد و از برنج آبکاری‌شده با طلای عیار ۱۴، نقره استرلینگ یا طلای رزگلد ساخته شده است. سوراخی در مرکز آن زنجیر را نگه می‌دارد که تا ۵۵.۸۸ سانتی‌متر (۲۲ اینچ) قابل تنظیم است. این طراحی، لحظه‌ای شخصی را به شکلی ماندگار حفظ می‌کند.

Unique Properties
Each necklace is custom made based on how the night sky looked during an individual's most important life moments. We create a star map based on the purchaser's specified time and location to create a one-of-a-kind necklace just as unique as their cherished moments. In this design, a darkened engraving is used to show the constellations, orbital lines, and Milky Way galaxy, while circular cutouts are used to represent planets within our solar system.
Dimensions & Packaging
The pendant measures 31.75mm in diameter and 1.4mm thick, while the necklace chain is 1.2mm thick and adjustable up to 22 inches.

Production Technology
Our star maps are generated through proprietary software that combines NASA and ESA data with complex mathematical models to generate a precise representation of the night sky. We then modified a PCB mill, used for manufacturing circuit boards in computers, to etch these star maps to an unparalleled level of precision in our industry. Our necklaces are made from durable brass and plated with a choice of 14k gold, sterling silver, or rose gold to ensure they can stay with us throughout our lives.
Design Challenge
The greatest challenge in this project was creating a very precise and accurate representation of the night sky and displaying it in a timeless design. The natural world is one of the intrinsically beautiful designs, and I believe the night sky is the greatest of them of all. Being able to capture its beauty and represent it in its entirety proved to be a great challenge that involved a lot of trial and error.
Research
Being a first-mover on a project like this, there was a lot of research that needed to be done. The key research required for this project was to discover the relationship between time, geographical coordinates, and star catalog data. We carefully examined various scientific papers, theses, and standards to identify these relationships. Using the user-input data and catalogs from NASA and ESA, we were able to generate precise star maps and compare their accuracy to the tools astronomers use.
Inspiration
This jewelry offers a unique way to connect with the most important moments in our lives. I'm fascinated by the idea that "the stars aligned" on our most memorable moments in life, and I think others are, too. By capturing that moment when "the stars aligned" and etching it into a piece of jewelry, this product serves as a lasting reminder of life's finest moments.
Project Duration
That project started in March 2020 and finished in December 2020 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, United States of America
Operation Flow
In this pendant, a hole, representing the center of the sky, is used to thread the necklace chain through. The necklace chain contains a ball and needle clasp that allows the user to wear the necklace at any length they desire.
