You may have noticed the recent influx of astrology interest on the internet and at the dinner table. While people continue to debate its legitimacy, astrology is fun because everyone can participate and consider another way to interpret themselves. As Above Jewelry agrees. They also think that regardless of whether or not you are into astrology, anyone can appreciate a minimalist, elegant piece of jewelry that belongs only to you. Why? Because it’s created based off the exact moment that you are born. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to make.
What is astrology, exactly? According to Merriam Webster, it’s “the divination of the supposed influences of the stars and planets on human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions and aspects.” I couldn’t tell you exactly how it works, but astrology has been a part of society since the 2nd millennium BCE. What I can show you is how you can design your own personalized necklace in less than a minute.
It’s simple: You enter your birth time and place, and then you are presented with your birth chart, which is what astrologers use to determine characteristics about your life and personality — and it’s what As Above will use as your necklace charm.
Of course, a lot of people don’t know the exact hour they’re born at. If both you and your parents have no idea what time you were born, it is safe to input 12 a.m. The only sign on your chart that depends on the exact time of your birth is the ascendant sign, so just ignore that placement.

As Above prints their charms with Shapeways, using our Silver, Brass, and Steel options. Each piece comes with a chain that matches its material. You also have three size options to choose from.
The result? Architectural symbols of your birth, now materialized into a charming, minimalist necklace.
According to As Above, everyone interprets their chart differently. There is no right answer to who you are just by reading your chart. But that’s the beauty of astrology — you are always learning more about yourself and who you can be by interpreting your chart in different ways.
