I have added a slew of new custom designs to the growing jewelry collection. There are science-inspired items, such as liposome and Nobel Prize-winning click chemistry pendants (K. Barry Sharpless 2022), as well as items related to my work as a neuroscientist. As of late, I have grown fond of electroforming, which allows me to make jewelry items with organic shapes. I am also a big fan of cabochons, especially the beautiful star sapphire and star ruby cabochons.
I just finished a 3.1 carat canary diamond engagement ring in 14K white gold. The band has 18 small 1.5 mm diamonds. A hand made labor of love – each diamond was set by hand under a microscope. $8,500.
Last year, I made a 2.1ct diamond ring in 18K gold for less than $3000 and a liposome earring in 14K with diamonds and emeralds for $1250. The stethoscope pendant and ring are made of Sterling Silver ($80 each).
Here are some examples. Most items are gold, rhodium or ruthenium plated Sterling Silver, but all items are also available in 14K or 18K Gold upon request. I will be happy to customize designs.
Please contact me with any selections or design wishes. The Silver-based items typically cost between $100-$200, depending on the materials and complexity.
