Dopamine is one of the key neurotransmitters in the central nervous system.

Here in the form of bracelets, necklaces and earrings.

On April 11, the International Parkinson Day is highlighted around the world. During March and April, 10% of my sales of the dopamine jewelry (necklace, ear rings and bracelet) will go to the Parkinson’s Association Research Fund.

My story – how I changed my career – from protein crystallographer to silversmith. An article in the journal ‘Tid & Smycken‘.

Now I combine passion, profession and mission.

The silver necklace shows the three dimensional structure of the nonapeptide oxytocin.

Valentine’s Day is February the 14th. Maybe one day when you express your love for people you love and close friends.

Why not give them an oxytocin jewelry?

Oxytocin is a feel-good hormone and usually called the “Love hormone”. It’s released during physical contact, hugs, sex, childbirth and breastfeeding. In addition to heat and touch, the oxytocin activity increases by swimming. The effect increases by swimming often and regularly.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1955 was awarded to Vincent du Vigneud for his work on the hormone oxytocin.

CRISPR/Cas9 – a precise technique for making changes in the genome.

CRISPR – Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats

Handmade CRISPR silver jewelry (the protein Cas9 is missing). You can hang it in the RNA or in the DNA – you decide.

The silver necklace shows the three dimensional structure of the extracellular domain of the T cell protein CTLA-4. Jewelry inspired by the Nobel Prize 2018 in Medicin. The Nobel Prize was awarded to James P. Allison and Tasuku Honjo for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation.

During January there is 20% discount on my serotonin jewelry; necklace and earrings.

The molecule formed in silver wire with the OH group as a golden bullet (18K).

The darkest period affects most of us on northern latitudes. It can be difficult to get enough sunlight. The light is very important, it stimulates the production of the hormone serotonin. Serotonin is a ‘feel good hormone’. If we don’t get enough sunlight, the production of serotonin decreases and instead the release of melatonin increases, the ‘sleep hormone’. The light ensures that our biological processes in the body work. We need sunlight and we need serotonin to feel good.

A new piece of jewelry in my web shop is the aquaporin AqpM.

Aquaporins are water-channel proteins that move water molcules through the cell membrane. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2003 was awarded to Peter Agre for the discovery of water channels. The jewelry shows the three-dimensional structure of AqpM.
