The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2024 was awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun ”for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation”.

They are awarded for the discovery of a fundamental principle of how gene activity is regulated. They discovered that microRNAs, a new class of very small RNA molecules, play a crucial role. A microRNA from the lin-4 gene was shown to be complementary to sequences in a lin-14 mRNA.

Nobel prize jewelry in physiology/medicine is lin-4 microRNA/lin14 mRNA in silver 925 where each bead corresponds to one nucleotide.

The Nobel Prize in Physics in 2024 was awarded to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks”

They have develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning. John Hopfield’s associative memory is built so that all the nodes are connected to each other. Information is fed in and read out from all the nodes

Nobel prize jewelry in physics is a Hopfield network containing 4 nodes where all are connected to the others.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2024 was awarded to David Baker “for computational protein design”, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper “for protein structure prediction”.

They are awarded partly for the discovery of being able to build de novo designed proteins, partly for achieving the dream of being able to predict the structure of proteins based on the amino acid sequence.

Nobel jewelry in chemistry is the three dimensional structure of Top7 in silver 925. David Baker has succeeded with the almost impossible feat of building entirely new kinds of proteins. Top7 is the first de novo protein and completely unlike any known protein. As a protein crystallographer, it feels good to be able to design a protein jewelry as this year's Nobel jewelry in Chemistry.

You will find this years silver jewelry inspired by the Nobel Prize in Medicin, Physics and Chemistry at the Nobel museum in Stockholm.

A new delivery to the Nobel Museum. ☺

It wasn't just Nobel jewelry like Hepatitis C, mitochondrial DNA and the laser pulse. For the first time, it was also my design of the Möbius strip and my silver hearts. I cast silver hearts in coal of the silver that is leftover when I make my science jewelry. They will now be available in the shop at the Nobel Museum.

A Platonic solid is a regular polyhedron in three dimensional space. Being a regular polyhedron means that the faces are identical in shape and size and the same number of faces meet at each vertex. They are named after the Greek mathematician and philosopher Plato, who studied these three dimensional figures. There are only five such polyhedra; tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.

I have formed some of the platonic solids in silver plate 925.

En tetraeder är en tredimensionell figur uppbyggd av fyra liksidiga trianglar. En hexaeder, mer känt under namnet kub, är en tredimensionell figur uppbyggd av sex liksidiga kvadrater. En oktaeder är en tredimensionell figur uppbyggd av åtta liksidiga trianglar.

Wednesday, May 15, I will be at the restaurant at Cytiva in Uppsala. As well as a selection of my science jewellery, there will be the company logo, the 'old' Pharmacia drop, as well as Protein A, Protein G and Protein L. Now with a special price, in honor of the day.

I open my exhibition ‘Nobel jewelry - and other science jewelry’ at Galleri Upsala on Saturday April 27th.

If you do not have the opportunity to come on Saturday, the exhibition is open every day until Thursday May 2nd.

Warm welcome!

When science and art meets, exciting things happen.

Curiosity is awakened.

After having worked for many years as a protein crystallographer and researcher in molecular biology, I am today an artist and jewelry designer, currently making silver pieces inspired by science. Protein sctructures, small molecules and DNA all have beautiful shapes, which I use to create unique silver jewlery. All jewelry is handmade in Sterling silver 925, occationally combined with 19 carat gold.

In collaboration with the Nobel Museum, I design jewelry that brings to light the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicin, Physics as well in Chemistry.

Are you or your friend working on a molecule or a protein that would make a nice jewelry?  It can be a perfect and unusual gift.

I have several times been asked if I don't have my science jewelry in gold. I can make the jewelry entirely in gold, but the price will then be very high. I have chosen to gold plate some of my popular jewelry.

The caffeine molecule , The Tree of Life ,  the triquenta symbol, the X-chromosome and the the Fibonacci spiral jewelry in silver 925 with a layer of 24 carat gold.
