Being from Las Cruces, NM where Clyde Tombaugh taught for decades at NMSU we are pretty partial. What are your feelings on Pluto's planet-hood? We support it!

"We are doing some papers right now on, I think, a position that we would love to escalate through the scientific community to revisit this discussion."

We're very excited to see us go back to the moon!

The Anatomy of a Launch: How We Build the Starship Pendant 🚀

We don't just "make" jewelry—we engineer it. Every Starship Pendant goes through a rigorous multi-stage process before it ever reaches your neck. Here is the flight plan:

The Prototype: It begins with a precision 3D-printed wax.

The Master: That wax is cast into a metal "master" piece, which we clean and refine to perfection.

The Mold: We pull a custom mold from that master to ensure every Starship in the fleet is identical.

Wax Injection & QC: We inject wax into the mold, then buff, clean, and inspect every single wax model. If it isn't perfect here, it doesn't go to casting.

The Transformation: After casting into precious metal, the pendants go through a mechanical finish to smooth the surface.

The Final Shine: We finish with a high hand-polish to achieve that iconic, "space-age" mirror glow.

The result is a heavy, high-detail tribute to the future of space exploration.
