Science is a constant source of wonder as it helps us better understand our world, our universe, and ourselves. Without a passion for the field, the human race wouldn’t have gotten very far—so why not celebrate the Earth, Moon, and beyond? Creative science jewelry offers a subtle and stylish way to do just that. Through the likes of necklaces and earrings, you can honor this expansive field. Although space is an overwhelmingly popular subject, there's plenty of accessories that pay homage to chemistry and biology, too.

Some of our favorite pieces let science do the talking. Etsy shop BeautySpot, for instance, has created a gorgeous, statement-making necklace that uses real hi-res photos of the Milky Way in its colorful pendants. As they hang from an antique brass chain, the amazing ethereal swirls are front and center. Their striking details are sure to add pizzazz to your everyday outfits.

Other jewelry incorporate science into the heart of their designs. The Solar Spectrum necklace by Boutique Academia is one that conceals a colorful secret within. When it’s worn, it looks like a silver pendant with a dark interior. But once it's held up to the light, you see a rainbow whose colors are separated with tiny black lines—they represent the chemical makeup of our sun!
