During the four Advent Sundays, between 11-17, there will be a Christmas market at Herresta Lada in Odensala just outside Sigtuna.

I will be there with my scienceinspired silver jewelry and some Christmas inspired silver jewelry the first Advent (28/11), the third Advent (12/12) and the fourth Advent (19/12).

DNA is the basis of all life on earth and is found in every living thing. It is the molecule of Life.

I design and form ‘simple’ DNA jewelry in silver wire. The double spiral structure is right-handed and contains ’minor’ och ’major groove’.

Three chili fruits with the capsaicin molecule as silver jewelry.

The burning feeling in chili comes from the molecule capsaicin.

Aji dulce amarillo is a Habanero type, relatively mild chili but very aromatic; 1-1.000 SHU on the Scoville scale.

Golden Cayenne is a golden yellow cayenne pepper that is medium strong; 30.000-50.000 SHU on the Scoville scale.

Naga Khorika is a super hot chill pepper; 800.000-1.000.000 SHU on the Scoville scale.

The weekend of 28 and 29 August between 11-16 I will be one of the exhibitors on the market Sigtuna Mötesrunda.

Together with about 15 other exhibitors, I will be at the popular and beautifully situated excursion place Herresta Lada in Odensala just outside Sigtuna. In addition to us exhibitors, there is also a nice organic café on the carefully renovated 19th-century farm.

The weekend on 4 and 5 September between 11-17, it’s the ‘Odensala konstrunda’. A 20-year tradition where various craftsmen in Odensala open their homes to show and sell their beautiful handicraft products. I myself will keep my silver jewelery at Herresta Lada.

Welcome!

They contain a lot of useful molecules. Some I have formed into silver jewelry.

If you want to see some of my silver jewelry – come to my exhibition at Galleri Upsala.

My antibody jewelry is now also available in 18K gold. A golden vaccination certificate.

You can buy it in my web shop. With or without gold chain.

I design and manufacture silver jewelry inspired by science. After many years in the research world, I switched to be a silver artist. Combining science with silversmithing is fantastic. Protein structures, small molecules and DNA helix, all have beautiful shapes and I form them in silver wire into unique silver jewelry. In collaboration with the Nobel Museum, I also design silver jewelry inspired by the Nobel Prize in physics, medicine and chemistry.

I make jewelry in the form of necklaces, jacket pins, earrings, bracelets and rings. All my jewelry is made by hand in Silver 925, sometimes combined with 18K gold.

An antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin, is a Y-shaped protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Silver jewelry that shows the schematic shape of the antibodies.

IgG is the most common type of antibody found in blood circulation.

IgM is the first antibody that our immune system makes to fight a new infection.

IgA is an antibody that occurs in tears, saliva, sweat and colostrum. IgA is in the “first line of defense” against viruses.
