The Myriorama Collection is named after a 19th-century game in which illustrated cards are laid next to one another to complete a scene, no matter the sequence. Arranging and rearranging parts to make a different ‘whole’ is the appeal of Myriorama, and so too of a charm collection. Mix them, move them, make something new.

Item Details
Potato with Eyes Charm is a lumpy russet made of solid 14k matte yellow gold with realistic eyes that are so small, they could be missed at first glance. Each enameled eye is meticulously hand-painted under a microscope with a single-hair brush. The charm is roughly the size of two green peas stacked on top of each other.
Composition: Solid 14k yellow unpolished gold mimics the texture of a potato. Each eye is a slightly different colored iris and includes special sculpting around the edges and hand-painted enamel.
Size: 8.1mm wide and 14.40mm long.
Wear: It comes with a 14k yellow gold jump ring at the domed top of the potato.
On The Design Story
The potato with eyes design was inspired by a tiny illustration from the book, The Secret Language of Birthdays, in which charts map your relational compatibility with another person based on both your birthdays.
All Myriorama charms were designed at Mociun HQ and meticulously produced in New York City’s diamond district. Charms with enamel are hand-painted and finished underneath a microscope using a single-hair brush. No stencils, no machine printing, just pure artistry by way of a steady hand.
Symbolism
According to folklore, the eyes of a potato represent the watchful eyes of the earth. With the all-seeing potato, you are quietly guided and protected. Let it remind you that your senses, intuition, and dream wisdom are your strongest guides in making challenging or impactful decisions.
About Myriorama
‘Myriorama’ is a set of illustrated cards with the same horizon line that became popular in the nineteenth century. The cards can be shuffled in any order, laid next to one another, and make a coherent picture no matter the sequence. Arranging and rearranging is the appeal of Myriorama, and so too of any kind of collector.
We are here to support treasure hunters on their search for the rare, the beautiful and the enduring.

Metals
Overview
Gold is most coveted for its aesthetic qualities and malleability. Its purity is measured in karats: one karat represents 1/24 of the whole, so 24k means 100% pure, naturally yellow gold. 24k gold is too soft for everyday wear, so for our jewelry, we recommend platinum and 14k or 18k gold, which is pure gold mixed with other metals, creating a stronger, more durable alloy. We love working with richly-colored 22k gold for jewelry that does not contain any stones.
We are happy to discuss requests for any desired materials in addition to the metals listed here.
Collapsible content
Yellow Gold
Made of pure gold and alloy metals like copper and zinc, yellow gold is hypoallergenic and easy to maintain. We love using yellow gold with all gemstones and diamonds.
Rose Gold
Rose gold is made of pure gold alloyed with copper, which gives it its reddish tint (perfect for warm-colored and pink gemstones or diamonds) and adds durability. It is not a hypoallergenic metal.
White gold
White gold is an alloy of pure gold and white metals such as nickel, silver and palladium. This metal pairs best with cool-colored gems, as well as colorless to near-colorless diamonds. It is not a hypoallergenic metal and generally not recommended if you have a nickel sensitivity. Unless requested, we do not rhodium-plate our white gold to honor its naturally yellow undertones.
Platinum
First popularized with Edwardian engagement rings, the rare and extremely durable platinum comes at a higher cost than gold. Platinum has cool, blue undertones and is a pure element. This hypoallergenic metal can be used over white gold for those with nickel sensitivity.
