'The summer job'
I will be at Skaparglädjen's store at Domkyrkoplan 5 at S:t Eriks torg
Saturday, August 1st, Friday, August 7th and Friday, August 14th from 12 to 4 p.m. 🐭 🪐
Welcome!

'Summer job'
During the summer, some of my science jewelry will share a shop with Skaparglädjen's wonderful hand-felted mice in one of the vaults at S:t Erikstorg. The vaults are a collection of unique, medieval premises located just below Uppsala Cathedral. They are one of Uppsala's oldest trading posts and are estimated to have been built at the end of the 13th century. Over the years, many changes have been made, but even today, details from the 18th century remain.

.
Behind one of the doors is the Skaparglädjens shop. A wonderfully inspired environment. Both the woollen mice and the silver jewellery arouse curiosity.
Welcome!

.
We have varying opening hours.
You can find them on Skaparglädjen's website, https://byzilmara.com/skapargl-dje-butik

Nickel(II) tetrasulfo phthalocyanine as a pin.
Nickel(II) tetrasulfophthalocyanine is an organic semiconductor compound that is being studied for use in both advanced sensors and solar cell technology.

–
This was a special order where the molecule is formed in 925 silver wire with the nickel atom as an 18K gold ball and the nitrogen atoms as oxidized silver balls.
If you want a molecule that I don't have in my webshop – email me at info@valegarddesign.se. It could be a perfect and somewhat unusual gift.
The three dimensional structure of GLP-1
Silver jewelry showing the three dimensional structure of GLP-1.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone produced in the small intestine after meals. It increases insulin secretion and promotes satiety.
Drugs that mimic GLP-1 have been shown to be effective in both type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Pyramidal neuron in silver 925
Santiago Ramón y Cajal was a Spanish physician and artist. He is the father of modern neuroscience. He combined his scientific research with his artistic side and created amazing drawings of the human brain and other nervous tissues. In 1906, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine for his claim that the brain is composed of individual neuron cells. Cajal's theories form the basis of neuroscience today.

–
I received a request from Madrid to design a jewelry based on one of Cajal's drawings. After receiving permission from the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (Natural Sciences Museum) in Madrid, I have now created a Santiago Ramón y Cajal pyramidala cell. It is a piece of jewelry that I make as an open edition (OE). Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity. The picture shows my first neuron piece of jewelry, OE-001. I have delivered four more to Spain.
Happy New 2026!
