Description

Iapetus: named after the Titan Iapetus from Greek mythology is the third-largest moon of Saturn, and eleventh in the Solar System. The low density of Iapetus indicates that it is mostly composed of ice, with only a small amount of rocky materials. Unlike most moons, its overall shape is neither spherical nor ellipsoid, but has a bulging waistline and squashed poles; also, its unique equatorial ridge is so high that it visibly distorts the moon's shape even when viewed from a distance. These features often lead it to be characterized as walnut-shaped. Iapetus is best known for its dramatic 'two-tone' coloration, but recent discoveries by the Cassini mission have revealed several other unusual physical characteristics, such as an equatorial ridge that runs about halfway around the moon. Cassini correctly surmised that Iapetus has a bright hemisphere and a dark hemisphere, and that it is tidally locked, always keeping the same face towards Saturn. This means that the bright hemisphere is visible from Earth when Iapetus is on the western side of Saturn, and that the dark hemisphere is visible when Iapetus is on the eastern side. The dark hemisphere was later named Cassini Region in his honor.

Four black retaining rings wired together with 28ga blue wire with a small 6mm heliotrope margarita crystal wired to the bottom and top center a small 4mm cobalt ab2x Swarovski crystal bicone supports a long black spike.... Dark and alluring this necklace is sure to add just the right amount of sparkle to any occasion.

The one spike really gives weight to this piece. It isn't heavily ornate, but it had a very heavy feeling to it.
