    Gift wrapped in recycled paper with a " Handmade with love especially for you" sticker. Gift notes printed on card jewelry comes with.

Wear a symbol of the stuff that makes us with a handcrafted Sterling Silver Atom pendant! Makes an ideal gift for science lovers or anyone fascinated with the building blocks of our material existence.

This design symbolizes matter and existence. Look closer and you will see a star that is created by the overlapping orbits. Coincidental yet meaningful. It makes me think of the well-known phrase popularized by the great astronomer Carl Sagan "We are Star Dust".

✦ HOW IT’S MADE ✦

Each piece starts out as a wax model. To keep the figure in place, wax sprues are attached to the model and then it is placed inside a steel cylinder. The cylinder is filled with an investment mold material that resembles plaster. After the investment properly sets, the cylinder is placed into a kiln and is brought up to 1,310 degrees in order to burn out the wax (hence the term Lost Wax). The cylinder is then removed from the kiln and placed on a vacuum table machine to get all traces of moisture & air bubbles out. Then, molten Sterling Silver is poured into the mold to replace the space where the wax once was. When the newly cast piece is slightly cool, it is quenched in water so the investment returns to a clay-like state and is easily removed from the newly cast pieces. Each piece is then smoothed out and polished with your choice of finish.

✦ABOUT THE ARTIST✦

Molecular Motifs is a culmination of my love for science, art and metalsmithing. I am a certified Art and Special Education teacher, grades k-12. I studied education as well as Mixed Media Studio Art. After teaching for nearly a decade, I decided to make my passion of making jewelry, specifically science themed jewelry, my full-time career. I absolutely love turning an abstract idea into something we can see, feel and wear! The teacher in me also finds a lot of joy in knowing that my creations open up a dialogue and give the wearer an opportunity to teach people about their jewelry.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to have the opportunity to create something special for you!
