The Stargazer Pendant, Three Ways

Our Stargazer Collection has been a popular choice for our clients, and it's easy to see why. We designed the collection to be adaptable to different design ideas, and we're loving how different adaptations have turned out. A pick from our Stargazer Collection would be a beautiful holiday gift, so feel free to pull inspiration from these three layouts we have created...

1) Go Classic

The beautiful thing about our Stargazer Collection is that the design can be as simplistic or unique as you like. You can't go wrong with an all-diamond option like what we stock in our showroom, and we're happy to make this in your pick of materials. Note: if we don't have your preferred material options in stock, allow about four weeks for fabrication of a customized piece. You can order yours online or book an appointment below.

2) Add One Anchor

This was one of our first customizations to the Stargazer Collection, and we keep going back to it for its low-key yet glamorous look. Our client selected a zircon to anchor the design in honor of her sister's birth month (December) and gave the necklace to her for her thirtieth birthday. Such a lovely idea!

3) Add Two (or more) Small Birthstones

This recently completed adaptation was designed by a local mom who wanted to honor her two children in the design. She opted for emerald (May) and amethyst (February) and decided to space them out so that the competing colors wouldn't contrast too much with each other. We love that the yellow gold adds a balancing, warming element to the look and how unique this simple adaptation turned out.

If you're considering adding color to your Stargazer pendant, you'll want to add a couple of weeks to the design process in order to allow for the gemstone mapping component. We work with you to perfectly place the gemstones so that they suit your eye, and we're happy to give suggestions for what works best. Book your design appointment today if you're considering this for a holiday gift!

Creative Director & Co-Owner | Alexandria and Company

I came to join Alexandria & Company by way of love: my husband Tim has owned the shop for nearly ten years, and I started by helping him on Saturdays so that we could spend more time together. Eventually, I quit my other life in the legal field to become Alx&Co’s Creative Director and co-owner with Tim. Now, we run our small business together in Old Town and I haven't looked back.

Alexandria & Company is an Old Town-based workshop and design studio specializing in creating and restoring fine jewelry and silver hollowware. They are the in-the-know jewelers of Alexandria and have been serving clients out of their small workshop for decades. Tucked in their historic building on South Royal Street, the team at Alx&Co. brings a personalized, modern approach to their craft – this is not your average stodgy jeweler or antique shop. Visit them online to view their collection of handmade fine jewelry; or, if you’re feeling creative, make an appointment to talk about that custom design project you’ve been imagining.
