PS 3-5 is based on the shape of transfer RNA (tRNA). This carries the information for specific amino acids from the nucleus of a cell to the cytoplasm where proteins are ‘assembled’. tRNA has a loop – called the anticodon loop – which holds the ‘anticode’ for one amino acid at its base. This design, which has one side textured, is Bev’s interpretation of this structure.
PS3-5 is available as a pendant, necklace, earrings, bangle and as either a single ring or as a coupled ‘ring set’ where the two rings can be worn separately or interlocked. The ring sets are made only to order and a selection of semi-precious stones is available.
In the range there is also a necklet with a silver shape that represents the twists of protein molecules. These are hand formed and supplied on a 16-inch silver cable.
