Life is coded in the amino acids, which make up proteins. There are 22 different amino acids, each of which has been given a one-letter code as shorthand. So, you can make strings of amino acids that spell things! I've done just that, fashioning the amino acids' chemical shapes in sterling silver, so they can be used as an alphabet to spell words or names.
This sterling silver necklace spells "GEEK," for those of us who like to represent the home team. [G=glycine, E=glutamate, K=lysine]
Other names and words are available for special order; please inquire. (Letters currently available: A C D E F G H I K L M N P Q R S T U V W Y )
The pendant is about 1 3/4 inches long and the chain is 16 inches long and closes with a lobster clasp.
It comes in a pretty recycled gift box with an amino acid letter code key. So, you could *tell* a gift recipient what word it is, or let her/him puzzle it out!
