"Who doesn’t enjoy staring up into a sky filled with stars?
With Jacquie Aiche’s “Starry Galaxy” necklace, you don’t have to look very far.
Set in 14-karat yellow gold, the necklace is made of opal inlayed in onyx with a border of pavé diamonds.
Six sparkling diamond stars are also placed in the onyx sky.
The pendant design is akin to a painting of the galaxy, using gemstones rather than paint.
“Our ‘Starry Galaxy’ necklace is all about finding beauty in contrast,” said designer Jacquie Aiche.
“When the sky is at its darkest, we can really see the stars shine. It’s a beautiful lesson—the darker times that we go through allow us to have a deeper appreciation for all of the light we experience.”
Aiche creates her pieces with intention, each one meant to be more than just fine jewelry.

“Onyx is a powerful protection stone and opal is known to inspire creative energy and happiness. Together, they create a healing talisman that has the power to lighten up the darkest days,” said Aiche.
The "Starry Galaxy" piece is featured in Aiche’s “Rebel Heart” campaign, which stars the famous couple, musician Adam Levine and supermodel Behati Prinsloo. It’s a collection of pieces designed for the rebels, loves, and wild ones, said the brand.
