Kinetic Saturn Pendant Necklace

A pendant with a moving part. The rotating section turns when you nudge it with a finger, or when you blow on it softly. The shape borrows from Saturn, a body ringed and spinning. Gray polyamide, with a fine sand-like grain rather than a gloss. Something to keep your hands busy while you think.

The part that moves

Give the rotating section a push with a fingertip and it turns inside the outer form. Blow on it softly and it turns too. The whole appeal is that a small worn object does something, rather than just hanging there, and it gives your hands a small job while you are on a call or reading.

The moving section is part of the pendant itself rather than a fitting added afterwards, so there is nothing to work loose. The polyamide body is solid but slightly elastic, and the surface carries a sand-like texture made of minuscule grains, which is pleasant against the fingers.

Wearing it

The pendant measures 1.5 by 1.14 by 1.7 inches and comes on an 11.8 inch black metal chain. The design is unisex and reads as contemporary and slightly science fiction, which puts it comfortably at a desk, a dinner or a lecture hall. Every order ships gift-wrapped, ready to give.

Care

The pendant is gray polyamide, so the surface has a fine grain rather than a gloss. Wipe it with a dry cloth and use a soft brush to clear dust out of the openings around the rotating part. Keep it away from solvents. Each piece is hand finished, so small differences between them are normal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the pendant move?

There is a rotating part built into the design. Push it with a finger and it turns, or blow on it softly and it turns that way instead. The movement belongs to the piece itself rather than to a fitting added on afterwards.

What does it feel like?

The surface is sand-like, a texture of minuscule grains rather than a smooth polish. The piece is solid but slightly elastic, so it does not feel like brittle plastic. It is made in gray polyamide, and because each item is hand finished the tone can vary a little between pieces.

What comes in the box?

The pendant on an 11.8 inch black metal chain, wrapped as a gift and ready to hand over. If it needs to arrive for a particular date, write before ordering so we can confirm we can make and ship it in time.
