Sitting high on the Mississippi River’s edge, the planetarium’s iconic dome is a work of art. The roof is blanketed with rows of scalloped shingles. Beneath the scalloped dome is an awe-inspiring space where films fascinate audiences through imagination and wonder. I wanted to create something that captures the beauty of the architecture and the mystery it holds. On the outside of this dome pendant are hundreds of tiny scallops reminiscent of the rooftop. Stamped on the underside is the constellation “Eridanus,” known as the celestial river. I included it as an homage to the Mighty Mississippi that runs alongside the Louisiana Art & Science Museum. The LASM is a treasure in our community, captivating young and old minds. It is home to a wide variety of impressive permanent and temporary exhibits. Add it to your Baton Rouge bucket list.   This pendant measures approximately 1" in diameter, with a 1/2" raised dome. *The price listed above is for the pendant only. If you choose to add a chain, the updated total will be reflected in your cart. To create the original version of this intricate piece, we used 3D-printed elements combined with our method of hand-carving wax. Click here to learn more about how we use the lost-wax casting method to create our pieces.   Created in our South Louisiana studio, blending traditional carving with 3D-printed elements for a truly original design. Each piece varies slightly due to its handmade nature. *Note: Sterling Silver and 14K Gold prices may vary due to fluctuation in the gold and silver markets.   Jewelry Care Instructions: Hinge Tightening: If your jewelry has a hinge (like a bracelet or clasp), check it periodically for tightness.
