Horizontal DNA helix necklace
Silver jewelry with a DNA helix in 1.2 mm silver wire. Here with a horizontal DNA helix. The double helix structure is right-handed and contains a minor and a major groove.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1962 was awarded jointly to F. Crick, J. Watson and M. Wilkins “for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material.”
Black holes
Silver earrings with oxidized silver balls as black holes.
MacMillan’s organocatalyst
Silver jewelry inspired by the Nobel Prize 2021 in Chemistry.
The Nobel Prize was awarded to Benjamin List and David W.C MacMillan ‘for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis’. David W.C. MacMillan designed a simple organic molecule, MacMillan’s organocatalyst.
The jewelry shows the MacMillan’s organocatalyst in silver wire with the oxygen atom as 18K gold ball and the nitrogen atoms as silver balls.
L-proline
Silver jewelry inspired by the Nobel Prize 2021 in Chemistry.
The Nobel Prize was awarded to Benjamin List and David W.C MacMillan ‘for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis’. Benjamin List showed that L-proline is an effective catalyst that can drive an asymmetric catalyst.
The jewelry shows the L-proline molecule in silver wire with the oxygen atoms as 18K gold balls and the nitrogen atom as silver ball.
Dopamine earrings
Earrings of dopamine in 1.2 mm silver wire with the OH groups as silver balls.
Dopamine is one of the key neurotransmitters in the central nervous system.
Serotonin earrings in silver
Earrings of serotonin 1.2 mm silver wire with the OH group as a silver bullet.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, and is believed to be a contributing factor to feel well-being happiness.’
Ghrelin
The silver necklace shows the three-dimensional structure of ghrelin in 1.2 mm silver wire.
Ghrelin is an appetite stimulating hormone.
Ellagic acid
Pendant of ellagic acid in 1.2 mm silver wire with the O as a silver balls.
Ellagic acid is a powerful antioxidant. Forest raspberries contain ellagic acid and some believe that the molecule has an effect on our health and prevents diseases.
Pelargonidin
Pendant of pelargonidin in 1.2 mm silver wire with the O as a silver balls.
Pelargonidin is an anthocyanidin, a type of plant pigment producing a characteristic orange color and found in red geraniums (Geraniaceae).
Icosahedron, small
Icosahedron formed in silver plate. Diameter 20mm.
Many viruses have an icosahedral protein capsid that protects the nucleic acid (eg polio, herpes, foot-and-mouth disease).
