We have made our DNA necklace so it actually looks like DNA with the characteristic minor and major grooves. Really, really nerdy. Biology is awesome!
Note: The plated variants are made of brass electroplated with 0.25 microns. It is an economical alternative to solid gold for occasional wear. For everyday wear, we recommend sterling silver or solid gold variants. Brass can react with your skin leaving a non-harmful greenish tinge with wear over time. To prevent this, you may consider coating the DNA necklace with clear nail polish.
Any biochemistry, chemistry, and science nerd will love this DNA necklace! Also works great on hoop earrings! (we recommend 20 mm hoops, write us if you need some inspiration!)
About DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a long polymer made from repeating units called nucleotides. A DNA molecule carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), they are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life. Most DNA molecules consist of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix. Its structure is dynamic along its length, being capable of coiling into tight loops and other shapes. Read more about DNA here.

Geert-Jan –
I ordered the necklace as a PhD gift for a lab member leaving the group.
Very nice finish of the pendants and the necklace shipt within 2 weeks (although I do suggest taking 3 weeks into account, because it was a close one).
