Tycho Brae spent much of his life in Venice, immersed in the Renaissance blend of art and science. There, under star-sprinkled skies, he deepened his fascination with the heavens. His love of the stars wasn’t just scientific — it was poetic, even spiritual. He famously lost part of his nose in a duel over mathematics and wore a nose made of gold — adding a dash of eccentric legend to his brilliance. Tycho believed the cosmos operated with divine harmony, and he sought to decode it with instruments crafted as beautifully as Venetian glass. These Venetian glass instruments charted celestial movements with unmatched precision. Crafted in the heart of Italy, these Murano pendants — one a graceful heart, the other a celestial star—are sculpted from mesmerizing blue-green handblown glass. Each piece shimmers like the Venetian lagoon under moonlight, catching the light with every turn. Suspended from silky, comfortable cords, they’re as effortless to wear as they are elegant to admire. These pendants channel that same wonder, capturing the cosmos in glass. Whether you’re drawn to the symbol of love or guided by the stars, these pieces echo Tycho’s passion for beauty both above and here on Earth.
