Green Orb Mezuzah

A unique rocket-shaped mezuzah inspired by the moon landings. The base of the mezuzah is hand crafted in copper using traditional silversmithing techniques including piercing (sawing with a fine jewelers saw) stamping, filing and soldering. Burying the mezuzah overnight in a mixture of sawdust and acid produces the green patination of this mezuzah; it has to be turned several times to achieve the correct color, which is reminiscent of Eilat stone. The hand-formed sterling silver bands are inspired by the rings circling Saturn.
