The Lyman Alpha Collar Necklace takes its name from the Lyman-alpha (Lyα) emission line, a key spectral signature produced when electrons in hydrogen atoms fall to their ground state where a single photon is released. This emission is one of the most important tools in astrophysics for detecting the earliest galaxies and tracing the structure of the universe.
The pendant with a minimalist, circular-triangle form, echoes the duality of simplicity and depth found in atomic transitions. Suspended from a fine metal wire-like chain, the piece captures the elegance of fundamental physics in a sleek, modern design.
The Lyman Alpha Collar Necklace is a quiet nod to the hidden signals that reveal the universe’s ancient past. A versatile piece meant for those who see beauty in the scientific patterns that shape our reality.
