The January offer – Serotonin

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.

This year’s Christmas gift?

Necklace and ear rings in silver inspired by the Nobel Prize 2018 in physics. A short laser pulse, stretched in time, amplified and squeezed together again.

   

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 was awarded to Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland “for their method of generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses.” The technique they developed has led to broad medical applications; for example, millions of eye operations are performed every year with the sharpest of laser beams.
