Was the Big Dipper the first constellation your recognized, or secretly still the only one you can pick out on a clear night? The Big Dipper is an asterism within the larger Ursa Major constellation, also known as the Big Bear. If you want to keep the big dipper with you during the day, on a cloudy night, or beneath bright city streetlights, this necklace is for you. The drilled holes in this handcrafted 3/4" x 7/16" (20mm x 11mm) sterling silver rectangle represents the iconic grouping of stars that make up the Big Dipper. The pendant hangs from an 18" sterling silver thin ball chain. If theBig Dipper isn't your cup (er, ladle?) of celestial tea, check out my Constellation series shop section for a number of other available designs! Please allow for slight variation from the photo - all pieces are handmade, which means each necklace is slightly unique!
