Star Map: A Timeless Reminder of Life's Finest Moments

Connecting with the Stars Through Jewelry

Novadays, a renowned design brand, introduces their latest creation, the Star Map necklace. This unique piece of jewelry offers a captivating way to connect with the most significant moments in our lives. The designer, Austin Scribner, was inspired by the notion that "the stars aligned" during our most cherished moments, and he sought to capture this phenomenon in a tangible and lasting form.

Each Star Map necklace is custom-made based on how the night sky looked during an individual's most important life moments. Novadays utilizes proprietary software that combines data from NASA and ESA with complex mathematical models to generate a precise representation of the night sky. The result is a stunning star map that showcases the constellations, orbital lines, and the ethereal beauty of the Milky Way galaxy.

What sets the Star Map necklace apart is the attention to detail and craftsmanship. Novadays modified a PCB mill, typically used for manufacturing circuit boards, to etch these star maps with unparalleled precision. The darkened engraving elegantly highlights the celestial features, while circular cutouts represent the planets within our solar system.

The pendant itself measures 31.75mm in diameter and 1.4mm thick, making it a delicate yet substantial piece. The necklace chain, adjustable up to 22 inches, is 1.2mm thick and features a ball and needle clasp, allowing the wearer to customize the length to their preference.

Novadays ensures the durability and longevity of their jewelry by crafting the Star Map necklace from high-quality brass. The necklace is then plated with a choice of 14k gold, sterling silver, or rose gold, providing a luxurious finish that will withstand the test of time.

Creating the Star Map necklace was not without its challenges. The team at Novadays had to overcome the task of accurately representing the night sky while maintaining a timeless design. The natural world is inherently beautiful, and capturing its essence required extensive research, experimentation, and attention to detail.

Throughout the design process, Novadays collaborated with astronomers and studied scientific papers, theses, and standards to ensure the accuracy of their star maps. By comparing their generated star maps with the tools used by professionals, Novadays achieved an unprecedented level of precision.

With the Star Map necklace, Novadays invites individuals to celebrate their most cherished moments and carry them close to their hearts. Whether it's a wedding, the birth of a child, or a personal achievement, this unique piece of jewelry serves as a constant reminder of life's finest moments.

The Star Map necklace has garnered recognition in the design world, receiving the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2021. This award recognizes the necklace's well-designed, practical, and innovative qualities that meet professional and industrial requirements. Novadays' commitment to integrating industry best practices and competent technical characteristics has resulted in a creation that brings fulfillment and positive feelings, contributing to a better world.

Novadays' Star Map necklace is not just a piece of jewelry; it's a symbol of the beauty and wonder of the universe. By wearing this exquisite necklace, individuals can carry the stars with them, forever reminding them of the magical moments that have shaped their lives.
