The Armilla Pendant is inspired by the very first Renaissance depictions of the motions of stars and planets. At that time, it was customary for people to construct marvelous models called Armillary Spheres comprising of a framework of rings. To begin with they were centred on Earth, but as time went by and the theories of Copernicus entered the picture, it was replaced with the Sun, an infinite source of light and the new centre of the universe. Available in a diameter of 36 cm, the diffuser is made of glossy white glass blown on a round mould, with the metal rings inserted and carefully fixed in place using melted glass at the end of the process. The rings have a polished finish, with gold and chrome plating. Available to order now, click here to view more or send us an enquiry.
