This gorgeous galactic necklace of the eight interlinked planetary symbols is handcrafted from brass & hangs beautifully from hand cut suede leather, adjustable in length and Turquoise stones at the ends. This Galactic necklace reminds us that we are all made of stardust! We are connected to the life cycles of the earth, the planets and the stars more than we might think. Everything in the universe, on earth and within us originated from stardust and still continually flows through us. The chemical elements that shape the breadth of creation also form our galaxy, our planet and even the cells of our bodies. We are literally made of stardust. The galaxy and the movement of the sun, moon and various planets undoubtedly hold an influence over us. Each planet is associated with a zodiac sign, and that sign will exhibit traits of the planet. The eight astronomical symbols of the planets date back to antiquity appearing in ancient Greek papyri and were also used in alchemical text.
