AC033 Planet Aldaraan necklace
The Planet Aldaraan 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 planets in the movies.
Alderaan is a fictional planet featured in the Star Wars franchise. It is blue-green in appearance and is depicted as a terrestrial planet with humanoid inhabitants. It is the home planet of Princess Leia Organa, one of the lead characters in the film series. In the original 1977 film, Alderaan is destroyed by the Death Star.
