The Planet Vulcan 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 movies.

People from the planet Vulcan in the various Star Trek television series and movies, are noted for their attempt to live by logic and reason with as little interference from emotion as possible. They were the first extraterrestrial species in the Star Trek universe to observe first contact protocol with humans. Mr Spock, an officer on the Starship Enterprise, is half human and half Vulcan. The planet Vulcan is said to exist in the real triple star system 40 Eridani, 17 light years from earth, orbiting the largest star A, a main sequence K1 star.
