I am a biologist by background, and a nurse by trade. I love studying the human body and learning how it works. It is a wonderful and amazing thing, and what better way to celebrate this than with a lung on a necklace or a brain on your tie? I think these anatomical crafts are very cute (and maybe a little bit creepy?), and they are all lovely ways of celebrating human anatomy.
Wearing your heart on your sleeve is so cliche. How about wearing your brain on your wrist?
Amy Sweetman’s store, Anatomology, is chock-full of gorgeous anatomy-inspired jewelry, such as this eye-catching brain bracelet.
What intrigues me the most is the unique magnet-based clasp, which is designed to keep the charm from drooping on the delicate silver-plated chains.
This line wasn’t born out of a gothic obsession with human organs, though. Sweetman, a professor of psychology with a focus on neuroscience, created the collection as a way to heal from a devastating breakup.
Her works centers on the heart, brain, and spine, and each piece of jewelry comes with an inspiring message such as courage, integrity, or harmony.
