A Candle in the Dark ✦ Lantern Pendant with Moth

A Candle in the Dark ✦ Single Lantern Pendant – with Moth
Original design © Olena Shmahalo / Nature in Theory

The title is a nod to Carl Sagan's 1995 book, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. And the idiom: "It's better to light a single candle than curse the darkness". This unique design is not available anywhere else.

These lantern pendants can be worn as earrings, on a necklace, or even as a brooch (using a large safety / kilt pin). This listing is for a single lantern with moth. See also:

• Listing: Earring set (& more images)
• Listing: Single pendant – no moth

Size: approx. 4 cm tall & 2 cm wide.

HOOKS NOT INCLUDED:

• Cast brass is not body jewelry quality. Test-printed hooks had micro-cracks; wearing directly in pierced skin would lead to infection or injury.
• Buying options: Gold is hypoallergenic and should match the color.
• DIY: To make ear wires for wearing through eyelet plugs (as pictured), or buy jump rings for necklaces: Shapeways' brass contains 15% Zinc, 5% Tin, and 80% Copper — Jeweler's Red Brass CDA #230 is a good color match. 20g (.8 mm) thickness.

Notes:

• Materials: For quality assurance, I don't offer untested options. If you're interested in a different material, I can create a custom, discounted listing for you. I'd be happy to offer a deeper discount in exchange for photos of the result.
• Minor imperfections are possible due to Shapeways' polishing process —
• Production, shipping: Shapeways handles these. In case of any issues, please contact Shapeways directly.
