Roman Space Telescope brooch

Roman Telescope brooch

This is the newest piece in my new collection which pays tribute to some of the coolest telescopes around (which all started with my old favourite, the Lovell Telescope). It shows the silver sun shade of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in shiny mirrored perspex, and comes on a Cepheid Studio-branded backing card. The real Roman Space Telescope is far too big to fit on a necklace chain, so this version is at a scale of approximately 1:2000!

I make other versions of this design! Find them here:

Each of these brooches started its life on my computer. I digitally drew each of the telescope's elements and other necklace components, then translated the designs into files that can be read by my laser cutter. This machine is the focus of my studio, and I’ve spent years hacking and tweaking it to perfection. I laser cut, assemble and polish the piece, before hanging it on a silver plated chain with a lobster clasp closure. I then carefully place it on a backing card in a Cepheid Studio branded gift box, ready for wrapping and sending to you, its new owner!

If you’re buying this brooch as a gift I can include your gift message in the parcel and send it straight to the recipient.
