Applying sustainable energy practices to jewelry design.

Using small solar cells, custom-designed circuit boards, and surface mount electronics, we have created a variety of simple modules for jewelry designers to mix and match.

OUR INSPIRATION
We wanted our pieces to highlight the elegant and ephemeral beauty of solar energy. Taking inspiration from the surface quality and material beauty of solar cells, we wanted to play with the magic of energy transformation. When fully charged, STARLIGHTS can power a LED for a few minutes. This speaks to the short lived nature of passing daylight and also to the elusive quest for energy harnessing. We hope to create new possibilities for imagining solar energy as a material for jewelry design and to inspire in people the notion of energy as a precious material.
