Announcement
All designs are my original illustrations. Any others selling them on Etsy are unfortunately sold without my permission. Please be mindful. There are a lot of ripped off pins and stickers out there!
I have again closed my shop for international orders. Too many packages have been delayed or lost in transit/customs and I do not have the means to give refunds as I would like. I apologize for this inconvenience and hope that the USPS postal service figures the process out soon. I want to be able to share my work across the world with all of you!
Wear your insides outside! Handmade from Copper, Brass & Sterling Silver. Spread awareness for chronic disease. - Educate. Support. Remember. -
Perfect gifts for med students, healthcare staff, patients, families or the anatomy-loving friend!

5 out of 5 starsI can not speak highly enough of Anatomical Elements' creations and of Rachel's personal touch which goes way beyond mere customer service. I got one of her heart necklaces about 8 years ago and have worn it almost every day since. I have wanted the brain necklace for quite some time and finally treated myself. I could not be more happy with my slowly growing collection of her fantastic pieces. This definitely won't be my last addition! 🧠🫀🫁

About AnatomicalElement
Wear your insides outside!
Rachel B. Stork, MS is the owner, illustrator and metalsmith of Anatomical Element. She works in the Division of Urology at Lurie Children's Hospital and is also a metals instructor at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago. She received her master's in Biomedical Visualization at the University of Illinois at Chicago and is a 2007 Association of Medical Illustrator's Vesalian Scholar.
Rachel creates anatomically correct, hand fabricated jewelry, metalwork & designs. This adventure brought her to California briefly, where she was the artist-in-residence for the Stanford Medicine X conference in 2014. Her goal is to educate and invoke awareness, giving a visual voice to invisible illness and disease.
Rachel has always been on the physician or surgeon side of healthcare, however someone close to her had 2 open heart surgeries in 2013-2015 and she was quickly thrown into the caregiver side of healthcare. Through this experience, she feels a deeper connection to her customers and captures those emotions in each piece.

Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
If you have an issue with any item that you have purchased, please contact me before you leave feedback. I want to discuss these issues with you and find an appropriate solution. I do accept returns if a piece is faulty, defective or not working properly.
Please contact me within 14 days of receiving your item so we can discuss if a return is necessary. Please ship it back in the same condition and original packaging in order to receive a refund.
The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs. I recommend adding insurance and tracking for your protection.
Custom-made items cannot be returned.
I will not refund or replace items that have been damaged due to neglect or poor use/care. I will resize chains if necessary for a small fee, but please double check sizing and lengths before you purchase.
Payment
If you need to make partial payments on any of the pieces, please contact me for information and custom listings.
Shipping
SHIPPING UPGRADES:
Please contact me if you need an order expedited. Most pieces are made-to-order if I do not have any on hand and can take up to 3-5 days to be ready to ship.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
I use priority international mail which can take 6-10 business days on average. It includes insurance. You can request first class mail which can take 8-20 business days. Insurance can be added for an additional fee. I strongly suggest adding "Registered Mail" to your order. Starting at $13.75, this adds insurance to your first class package. It will not be trackable once it leaves the United States. If you want tracking, please contact me for other shipping options (Express, DHL, etc.) I am not responsible for missing, stolen or damaged packages or packages held in customs.
Please know your own country's laws about import taxes or duties and your responsibilities regarding the payment. If the package is returned because the customer failed to claim their parcel or refused the duties, the shipping paid cannot be refunded. Orders shipped to non-US destinations are sometimes held at your local customs office for you to claim. Please double check this before purchasing.
Additional policies and FAQs
If you'd like a one-of-a-kind item, please contact me for a custom order and specify that you want it as OOAK. If this is not explicitly discussed, the item may appear in my shop as the same design or a variation of it.
CARING FOR YOUR ITEM:
Please be smart with your jewelry. Don't shower, bathe, swim or wash dishes while wearing your pieces. Avoid using lotions, sprays or perfumes while wearing your jewelry as well - the chemicals can cause reactions that could damage the appearance of your jewelry. When not worn, store your jewelry in a box or bag, avoiding moisture and air. This helps prevent tarnishing.
Cleaning jewelry: If your piece came with a yellow polishing cloth, please use that to shine it up. Otherwise use a soft toothbrush with water and a tiny amount of baking soda and GENTLY scrub the piece. Scrub in a circular motion to avoid scratches. Rinse with water and let it fully dry.
