In the sky, with diamonds
I've always loved A.G.A. Correa's diamond constellation jewelry; I recall seeing the first pieces in The New Yorker many years ago.
Mr. Correa Sr. was inspired one evening looking at a starry sky. The diamonds are chosen in perfect proportion to each constellation, and placed in specially-designed setting that minimizes the meta

Timeless, classic yet inventive, these are stars light, stars bright to wish upon.

I would love someone to buy me any of his line (hint hint)
Instead, a perfect graduation or Christmas gift for my daughter. I had posted elsewhere how we would spend summer nights searching the skies..she would always be the one to spot Cassiopeia- I see on the site a Diamond Constellation Cassiopeia Pin in (14k)
How perfect is that? Not just reaching for the constellations but getting to adorn one's bod.
Great link Kathleen!
