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.

Don’t forget to buy the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day. Why not a pair of oxytocin earrings in silver?

Oxytocin is a feel-good hormone and called the ”Love hormone”. It's released during physical contact.

Oxytocin is a peptide consisting of 9 amino acids. The jewelry shows the peptide chain in three dimensions.

Give a nice Valentine's Day gift on 14 February. Why not a silver heart?

I cast silver hearts of the silver that is leftover when I make my science jewelry. Each heart is unique. It gets a wonderful weight and an exciting finish.
