Material Called Light

Light is good. Optimism, positive energy, protection, clarity, a reminder, the One. Material Called Light … A unique and meaningful piece – a light for you to carry everyday, next to your heart. 

The MCL pendant necklace carries the entire Bible etched onto a crystal-clear gemstone using nano technology. Designed to be a subtle yet meaningful presence in your daily life.

We’ve utilized advanced nano technology, the same used in creating silicon computer processors, to inscribe the entire Bible onto transparent quartz and sapphire using light. This innovative approach not only ensures precision but also integrates spiritual significance into every particle of the pure gemstone, offering a connection that is both seen and unseen.

Each letter of the scripture is microscopically small at only 3×3 µm, with just 500 nm between each character, allowing both the Old and New Testaments to fit perfectly on a mere 9x9mm gemstone. We have achieved this through a precision etching process that meticulously places each tiny character without sacrificing legibility or detail. 

The result is a marvel of miniaturization that makes it possible to carry the full, luminous depth of the Bible in a space smaller than the pad of your thumb.

All 66 books (39 in the Old Testament & 27 in the New Testament), 783,137 words and 3,116,480 printed letters engraved using the world’s most advanced technology on a 9×9 transparent gemstone.

We’ve designed the pendant with a minimalist aesthetic that adheres to the ‘less is more’ philosophy. Stripping away any excess embellishments, the design remains simple and versatile ensuring it complements any outfit or occasion without drawing undue attention. The wearer knows the depth and presence of what they carry, creating a personal and intimate experience with the piece.

Additionally, we have designed two distinct models: one for women, elegant and feminine, shaped as a perfect square set at a 90-degree angle; and one for men, featuring a more robust, elongated rectangle with thicker borders that hangs vertically, emphasizing a masculine aesthetic.

The construction of each pendant is executed with meticulous care, using no glue or gemstone setting that could impair the text, and achieving double-sided symmetry to ensure it looks perfect from any angle. We use only the finest materials: sterling silver, vermeil, and gold, alongside colorless quartz and sapphire gemstones with flawless clarity.

Complementing the pendants, the chains are crafted with equal attention to detail. The women’s necklace is a thin, elegant rolo chain  that balances durability with a delicate appearance, perfect for daily wear. The men’s is a heavier spiga chain, designed to offer robustness while maintaining an air of sophistication.

Each pendant will come with a necklace of matching metal to your selection:

• Silver pendant & silver chain necklace
• Vermeil & gold plated necklace
• 14k gold pendant & 14K gold necklace

It’s remarkable that we’ve managed to engrave the entire Bible onto such a minuscule surface. Two independent labs have verified both our ability to inscribe the full text on gemstones—both quartz and sapphire—and certified their authenticity. 

Given the length of the Bible text and the size of the gemstone, the text is exceptionally fine. It’s barely possible to see the text is there with the naked eye or under a simple 10x jeweler’s loupe, when held up to the light. To comfortably read the text a 2000x magnification professional electron microscope, would be required.

To make this extraordinary detail visible to you, we’ve developed a chip with shorter and significantly larger gospel texts.

Introducing the Bedside Gospel, a stunning clear piece of quartz gemstone inscribed using our cutting-edge nano-technology with a full Gospel of your choice: Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John.

Each Bedside Gospel comes with a 200x microscope lens that attaches easily to your phone, allowing you to read the apparently invisible inscription with your own eyes.

Each pendant is handcrafted one piece at a time by our small team of highly skilled veteran goldsmiths, each with experience of at least 2 decades. Our level of craftsmanship highlights not only the quality of the materials used but also the passion and care that go into the making of each piece.
