Just out of the lab... an experimental piece-- with a custom-molded LED as the focal element! First, I immersed a green LED and circular screen in UV resin with green pigment, set in a teardrop-shaped mold to create the light. Next, I mounted the teardrop LED on black perfboard with a 3V coin cell battery holder on the back. The board was then fitted with a removable wire-wrapped frame, woven by-hand with upcycled brass watch parts and green glass beads. This is LED jewelry on a whole new level!
This pendant measures 44x33x29mm (1.7" x 1.3" x 1.1"), and comes suspended on your choice of chain. The circuitry is sealed in a combination of hot glue and electrical tape to keep out dirt/moisture, while affording access to the circuitry, should repair ever be required. The wire-wrapped frame may also be removed (by unscrewing the two nuts & bolts at the top of the frame) to make cleaning easier. Please bear in mind, however that this piece is not waterproof and moisture should be avoided.
*Coin is shown for scale and will not be included with the jewelry.
**Comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, filled in and signed by the artist; photo of the piece and materials are listed on the reverse side of the card. There is also a little surprise when you push the button.
***All measurements were taken without the battery inserted.
****BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED. Runs on a single CR2032 coin cell.
