18K yellow gold, sterling silver

Illustrious shine in all its splendor naturally takes hold in this work by Batho Gündra. Reminiscent of the brightest muse that graces our skies, Gündra seeks to emulate the sheer effulgence of the burning sun and the glow of the full moon. Slight, concave, circular forms are arranged in a lustrous chain of high karat gold. Masterfully, the artist joins each element together by pins that are pierced into their adjacent forms in his lavish composition. In this way the elements may move with flexibility and rest lovingly on the body. Upon the light, each curvaceous surface echoes the textured dissipation against the luminescent gleam that travels courageously along the comely necklace. So seamlessly, the piece is finished with the simple agility of a hook and eye clasp. A work emblazoned with the fiery luster of the beauty in our solar system, it is adornment to set the soul aflame.
