As my readers and customers will know, I’m not a scientist by trade. I’m a jeweller. But science still fascinates me and I love to create commissions like this one.
My customer wanted a special ring to give as a gift to her other half and asked me if I could somehow make a ring inspired by iron. It was to be a gift for a chemistry teacher named Felecia, who goes by ‘Fe’ for short. What a great idea for a chemist! Combine her name with an element.
I sent a few designs and we worked together to finalise it.
The front of this ring shows the atomic structure of iron. Each of the 26 holes show the electrons and the engraved circles show the orbital rings. The dot in the center represents the nucleus.
There is an engraving on the inside of the band reading ‘that one’s all mine’.
This ring was fun to make because it set me a bit of a challenge. Along with the usual cutting, drilling and soldering, I wanted to engrave the circles by hand, but in my mind they had to be perfect. After all, this is a scientific diagram, for a scientist and (unlike some of my other work) not really open to abstract ideas! After a few trial runs I was happy that I was going to be able to make them as I envisaged.
”My experience was wonderful. Emily really worked to create my vision. She stuck in there as I changed my mind on the little details, and the ring was flawlessly executed, and looked and fit perfect. Fe loves it and hasn’t taken it off since Christmas. All her colleagues find it to be a perfect fit for her. I will definitely be commissioning another piece.” L.Sullivan

All designers have a person that they want to buy from, for me it’s Selda Okutan. When I see her pieces I always say to myself, ‘I’m going to own that one day’.
This one,
Or maybe this one,
Or maybe something else… either way. I have a lot of designer love for this jeweller.
There are billions of molecules! But only one was right for the launch of the Lexus IS in 2013.
I was very proud to be approached by the team that runs the PR for Lexus and asked to make a batch of cufflinks that could be used in their press kits for a special launch.
The PR team was using the adrenaline theme to compliment the personality of the car ‘fashionable, bold and exciting’ and my cufflinks were a perfect match. They designed the spherical pod to encase the cufflinks to echo the shape of the elements in the molecule.
Each pair of cufflinks were carefully handmade in my studio from sterling silver and given a blackened finish. Many hours of work went into making each pair perfect!
The PR kits were sent to journalists across the US and my wonderful contact kept me updated on the feedback they were getting. The cufflinks were a huge hit and there was some great feedback from journalists at Cigar Aficionado, GQ and The Robb Report to name a few.
The cufflinks were so well loved that I even had an order for an additional few pairs of cufflinks to be presented to the (V)VIPs at Lexus/Toyota! I was so thrilled that my adrenaline cufflinks were such a good match – as were the PR team.

A New Design
Coming very soon, a new design of the oxytocin pendant, and brand new to the collection – earrings and bracelet in the same style!
The previous pendant was a huge hit and I just know that you are going to love this collection even more. Only the best for such an
important molecule in our lives. If you want to learn more about oxytocin then take a look at this post.
But right now here is a sneak peek for you. The new style is made up of solid silver spheres – much like my very popular dopamine range. Ok, enough words from me. Feast your eyes on the pendant and earrings here….
Update:
See the current oxytocin collection here, now available in sterling silver and rose gold finish!

Customer’s Requirements
My customer was looking for a very specific piece of jewelry. As the head of a department he was looking for a special piece to give as a retirement gift to recognize the great achievements of a person who had dedicated her working life to researching vasopressin. He wanted a pendant in the shape of the vasopressin molecule in the style of my oxytocin molecule pendant he had found.
Designs
The vasopressin molecule is quite complex compared to some of my other designs and my first step was to take the shape of the molecule and work out a shape I could work with – and was a true representation of the molecule.
I started by looking at the chemical structure for vasopressin – C46H45N13O12S2 (phew – big task ahead!)
Then I got some images like these – because I’m a visual person at the end of the day. I use the numbers above to check everything is looking right at the end.
To start the design I worked on the computer to combine the two images above – I wanted to chow each atom as a sphere but not to be so dense as the 3D image above.
After many hours of checking and creating I ended up with this –
After some discussion with my customer – we decided that an engraving was going to really make the piece special. So I suggested we place the molecule on top of an oval shaped back – giving plenty of space to engrave a message at the back.
The customer also decided that a black outline of the molecule would really make it stand out – and I totally agreed!
Results
Here are some images of the pendant in the making and the final piece.
Customer’s Requirements
My client approached me wanting a commemorative coin for a 5 year wedding anniversary. She explained to me that her husband and herself would often make big life decisions based on a coin flip and she wanted to make a special coin to suit them.
Design
After some discussion we decided on the design for the ‘heads and tails’. Their custom coin would have an elephant on one
side for the strong and sure path. he reverse would show an adrenaline molecule to indicate the more risky choice. She chose to have to words ‘Embrace the chaos’ engraved on this side too.
Result
The sculpted copper coin really captured the essence of this couple, I’m told the husband carries it with him in his pocket daily! It seems that both sides of the coin are positive for them and they make the most of what they have or choose or is fated to them!

C8H11NO2
This project was a private commission from a VIP at Nescafe. My client wanted to give some caffeine jewellery to his team as a Christmas gift and asked me if I could design some pieces for him.
At the time I didn’t have any caffeine inspired jewellery in my collection and was excited to create something new for him.
After sending over a few designs it was decided that I would make cufflinks for the men and pendants that doubled up as brooches for the women.
Both designs used the caffeine molecule with an oval shape. The oval was to represent the coffee bean.
We worked together to write a description to be featured on the packaging and each piece also had a personlised engraving on the back.
The gifts were very well recieved by the team and it was a wonderful to fabricate each meaningful piece.

This oxytocin pendant was commissioned as a Valentine’s Day gift. Oxytocin is hormonal superglue and is the bond in all out relationships. Read more about it here!

A Little Word Play
Red herrings: I quite like words, I like word play even more.
This is a re-visitation of an old project – in fact it was the project I set myself for my final year at university.
The source of my inspiration is the dictionary. I have been through my copy with a fine toothed comb and collected all the words I can find with the word ‘ring’ in it somewhere. Firing, remebering, enduring and hard-of-hearing are a few examples. I’m working on fabricating a range of words into rings to be worn. Check back for updates and to see how I have interpenetrated the words I choose.
Here are some that I have already created;

Customer’s Requirements
My customer had recently lost a family member and contacted me to make a memorial necklace with a piece removed so she could bury it with her loved one. She had lost one of her cousins leaving 3 in her family so she asked for 3 pieces on the necklace and one separate piece of dopamine.
Designs
I suggested that we design the necklace with a physical space where the fourth piece would have been, a way to remember her family member.
It also turned out that the separate piece was to be cremated so I had to find a new material to work with as the silver would not burn and would be removed at the crematorium.
Result
After some experimenting I sculpted a dopamine piece from papier mache and painted it silver.
My client chose a design that had the outline of the fourth piece on the chain and would serve as a beautiful reminder for her.
You can see the result on the right, my client loved it: “it’s perfect”, and it was a beautiful project for me to work with her on.
This wonderful molecule is the bond in all your relationships. It has been described as hormonal superglue and influences us through touch.

Hello my dear Chantal, welcome to your secret hidden post on my blog. It’s only for you!

I was shown this magical film yesterday. I’ve watched it 3 times already. ‘Oh The Places You’ll Go’ at Burning Man. Based on the last Dr Seuss book on the ups and downs of life.
I love the new Timeline for facebook pages – it feels much more like a blog and is heavy on the images which is great for us artists and crafters. Here is a snapshot of my newly published page – I’ll tell you why I like it below.
I new tabs are much more easy to spot than having them hidden away on the side bar – the buttons are much bigger. Definitly a reason to customise them properly as I have done here.
You can now highlight content from your page and make it bigger or pin it to the top of the page. And at last – there is a function where fans can send you a private message which I think is wonderful.
I found this blog post helpful too Prep Your Business Page for Facebook Timeline: 5 Lessons Learned From Old Spice and Other Big Brands | Business 2 Community
All in all I like the new design – come and see how I filled out my timeline with events and features! http://www.facebook.com/EmilyAliceJewelry
Great idea here for organising your jewellery – use on old ice cube tray to keep your earrings in pairs and your necklaces from tangling together! If you want to display your jewels more then how about a cork board with pins in – you can hang your things up ready to grab and they look great.
This wonderful molecule is the bond in all your relationships. It has been described as hormonal superglue and influences us through touch.
When the buzz of a new relationship fades it is oxytocin that remains and keeps the bond which strengthens over time. Oxytocin is deeply involved in parent-child bonds, it is this hormone which stimulates the production of milk in a nursing mother and induces parenting behaviors.
It makes your skin more sensitive to touch and it spikes at orgasm, making couples (women especially) committed to each other. It bonds us to friends, children, lovers and family.
A simple hand-hold can produce that warm fuzzy feeling, or even petting your dog. What a nice molecule.
I love this very sweet description which illustrates this post well;
“I know one reason kissing was created. It makes you feel warm all over, and they didn’t always have electric heat or fireplaces or even stoves in their houses.”
Gina, age 8 (The Things Kids Said)
Take a look at some oxytocin inspired jewellery here! It’s as beautiful as the hormone itself and it has a special meaning.
