Product features
| Cap | The Australian fire opal ball (~5,89 ct.) in the cap is inspired by the supernova 1904, which was first observed and published by Kepler in De Stella Nova. |
| Cap Top | The three rings at the cap top are inspired by Kepler's 3 laws of planetary motion. |
| Clip | The clip is symbolizing the tool which Kepler used to measure and observe in the observational astronomy, enriched with two blue sapphires (~0,13 ct.). |
| Overall Design | The decoration on the forepart is inspired by the drawing of Kepler featuring his concept of gravity of the sun, from the book Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae (1617 to 1621). The cap and barrel are made of white gold, lacquer, 3D hand-engraved under lacquer, and set with 122 diamonds (~0,55 ct.). The hand-engravings under the lacquer of the barrel and cap are inspired by the Ophiuchus constellation and Sagittarius constellation in Kepler’s book De Stella Nova. |
