Last week we featured the geocentric movement, so it's only fair that we give the other side a shot.  On the upper left is a grommet necklace designed to mirror the Copernican model of heliocentric revolution.

This, however, is but one of the many wonderful items at Individual Icons--Jewelry that Works.  Compass necklaces, ruler bracelets, level earrings, thermometer jewelry and much, much more, designer LeeAnn Herreid's creations are marvelous fusion of science and art.

SCIENCE AND RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS EXTRA:

The sun has long been a symbol of the divine in religious symbolism, including Christianity.  Below are couple of other images from nature appearing in Individual Icons jewelry that one can also find in religious contexts.  Click on the pics to see references familiar in the West.
