The Planet Krypton bead is securely set on sterling silver wire, with sterling silver bead caps. It is supplied with a sterling silver chain, or can be ordered on its own to go on your own chain.

The lampwork beads are made, one by one, in my Christchurch, New Zealand, workspace at XCHC, a shared maker space. They are made by melting coloured glass in a gas/oxygen flame and manipulating the surface so they resemble the images of the planet in the comics and movies.

Krypton is a fictional planet appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The planet is the native world of Superman and is named after the element krypton. Krypton is also the native world of Supergirl, Krypto the Superdog, and Power Girl (in her case, an alternate-universe version designated “Krypton-Two”).
