3D Necklace Rectangle for Libra

A libra necklace with the scales engraved inside a slim block of optical crystal on a chain, the constellation drawn behind them and the name below. There is a practical reason this design works better worn than any of the other eleven, and it has nothing to do with astrology. A libra crystal necklace rotates on its chain all day, and a symmetrical figure is the only kind that looks right at every angle it stops in.

Why Symmetry Matters on a Chain

An animal facing left looks wrong when the block turns and presents its back. A figure built from a central pivot with equal weight either side does not have a wrong side. The scales are the only abstract, symmetrical design in this series, and the result is a piece that reads correctly whether it has settled square to the front, turned a little, or ended up reversed against a jumper. On something nobody adjusts more than once a day, that is a real difference rather than a nicety.

The Sign Given Sideways

Libra is traditionally associated with fairness, diplomacy and an aversion to conflict, and of the twelve it is the one most defined by other people rather than by itself. That shows in how it is bought: more often between friends and partners than handed down a family. A worn piece suits that better than an object for a shelf, because it is chosen every morning by the person wearing it rather than placed once by whoever gave it.

Sizes, Chain and Ordering

The small is 0.79 by 1.18 inches at 0.39 deep and 0.03 pounds, the medium 0.98 by 1.38 at 0.47 deep and 0.06, the large 1.18 by 1.57 at 0.08. A chain is included. The two pans are engraved at slightly different depths inside the crystal, so the balance has thickness to it rather than being a flat line, and nothing sits on the outside to wear against clothing. Crystal is inert against skin and does not tarnish. The design is already made, so nothing is uploaded and no proof is approved first. Gift wrapping, crystal accessories, a pop up greeting card and a cleaning kit can be added. No light base exists for the worn format; the shelf crystals in this series are the ones that take one. Gift box included, made in 1-2 business days, US delivery in 3-5.
