Amateur astronomers will probably want to make space for this jewelry series from Maryland-based artist Lauren Beacham. Along with her husband Tyler, the designer creates jewelry inspired by celestial objects.
Beacham has a degree in fine art photography and computer imaging, which led her to start making photography-based jewelry. She moved into astronomy-themed items in 2013 and has since made a whole collection. The series of handmade jewelry includes cufflinks, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and more—each featuring an image of space.
For instance, her cufflinks are decorated with Earth, the Heart Nebula, and the golden record from the Voyager Probe. A bracelet and necklace bib features the planets in the solar system (plus Pluto and the sun), and a pair of earrings and a necklace show the phases of the moon.
You can find all her work sold on UncommonGoods.
