AC040 Pern necklace
Planet Pern, from the acronym ‘Parallel Earth, Resources Negligible’, is an medieval-type society on a world threatened by ‘Thread’ from the Red Star, in Anne McCaffery’s series.
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 NASA images of the planets.
The bead is strung on a 45cm sterling silver chain with sterling silver wire setting and bead caps.
