Solar Eclipse Diamond Necklace

Solar Eclipse
April 8, 2024
Black Star Island and Diamond
Necklace

The moon moves in mysterious ways. Remarkably, our scientists can predict where and when the next solar eclipse will occur. On April 8, 2024, America has a large sweep of moon shadow crossing from Mexico to Maine and Canada. Millions are anticipating its arrival.

Our Solar Eclipse Diamond necklace has a fully faceted Maine Coast Stone surrounded by a brilliant corona of diamonds. You’ve planned the trip, booked the bed and breakfast, and bought special sunglasses. Here is the additional surprise up your sleeve. If it turns out to be a cloudy day in your location, if the birds are convinced the end of the day has come, and even if a bank of clouds rolls in, you are prepared with a beautiful piece of jewelry that will commemorate the day forever.

This necklace is special. It is unique to our store. The center gem is a black stone from Black Star Island (our name for this Maine island). We spent ten years trying to get to this remote island. We tried everything. Finally, we rented a helicopter. The pilot dropped us off, and we explored for a day. Then, we cut a deal with a lobsterman and we spent another day several years later exploring again. One small black rock from the island can yield dozens of stones. Again, Cross is the only place in the world where you can acquire one of these Solar Eclipse Necklaces. It’s beautiful. Truly dazzling.

Why We Love This Solar Eclipse Necklace

First, the necklace is beautiful – especially dazzling under evening lights at a dinner for two. The big gem is 12mm round. The black star is the sun being eclipsed. There are 16 big facets polished onto the black surface that catch the light and reflect with a glitter of white across its surface. Then, in dramatic contrast, there are 20 diamonds sparkling around the perimeter. The diamonds are the light of the corona.

We worked for years on developing this item. Even we were surprised when we finished the first one. It’s more beautiful than anything we ever imagined. It’s a lovely piece of jewelry, even if you don’t chase eclipses.
