I got this baby:
I borrowed the photo from the seller's listing. I found it on Etsy from a shop called Chain of Being. They're out of Alameda, CA so for me they're relatively local, which was an added bonus. The only downside was that it took almost a week to be shipped, though it did arrive fairly quickly after that (and I realize that the seller has no control over how long it takes to arrive once they send it).
Outside of the slowness, I love this bracelet. It's well-made and gorgeous. Plus, it's nerdy without being obviously so. In case you weren't sure, it's the planets of our solar system along with the sun and the distances between them are proportional to the actual distances between the planets. Each of the tiny black beads represents about 40,000 miles. A lot of work went into making these and I think it paid off. I've worn my bracelet since the day I got it.
The seller has a lot of other cool nature-based jewelry including a necklace with the different layers of the atmosphere and one that looks like veins and arteries. You should definitely check it out.
