Custom and personalized orders

I can make custom molecule jewelry, if the molecule will work in my style. Prices start around $150 and the process usually takes 4-6 weeks.

Most of my jewelry is high quality, solid sterling silver. It is specially formulated to resist tarnish, but, like all silver, will tarnish. You can minimize oxidation by storing silver jewelry in a bag or box away from air and heat. Regularly wearing the jewelry can help rub off tarnish. I allow the silver serotonin necklace I wear daily to develop a bit of a patina. It's OK to wear your sterling silver jewelry in the shower.

Gift wrapping and packaging

Your order will come packaged in a cute, recycled paper gift box with a little card explaining what the molecule represents. I tie it with a ribbon, making a pretty package for gifting - no addition wrapping required. If you are shipping directly to the gift recipient, I'm happy to include a card with your gift message. Just let me know when you order.

Ethanol is the drinking alcohol so ubiquitous in many human cultures, and people have been making and imbibing it for at least 9,000 years. In our brains, ethanol increases levels of the neurotransmitters GABA (relaxation), serotonin (happiness), and dopamine (reward pathway).

In beverages, alcohol is made by yeast, the same or very similar yeasts that are used in bread-making. A slice of bread and mug of cider, both yeast products, were central to the early farming societies. More than just bring tasty and psychoactive, alcohol in beverages served to purify and preserve drinking water.

In our modern culture, ethanol can be important in bonding rituals between friends and also provides a foundation for much creativity in molecular gastronomy kitchens. Additionally, ethanol also is a very useful solvent and fuel.

This design is a bit different than the rest of the MWM collection. It is based on a space-filling, rather than the ball-and-stick, style of representing molecules. The result is a cute, bubbly structure somewhat resembling a balloon poodle.

The solid sterling silver ethanol charm is about .5 inch long and strung on a solid sterling silver ball chain, either 16, 18, or 24 inches long. The chain closes with a spring ring clasp. It comes packaged in a cute gift box with a little card explaining the design.
