DNA Coming Out of My Ear-rings

Description

Don't you love DNA, specifically your DNA? It keeps you running and making all those correct proteins and gives you that wonderful hair of yours.

These earrings are made to mirror a strand of Deoxyribonucleic Acid, what we commonly call DNA. They are equipped with all 4 bases, in the different colors we commonly see in biology textbooks. Red for Adenine, Blue for Thymine, Green for Guanine and Yellow for Cytosine. And as is biologically correct, red beads are only paired with blue beads and green beads are only paired with yellow beads.

These were great fun to make and I will be making more DNA jewelry! I really love it.

These earrings have sold, but more of my items can be found in my Etsy shop! You can also request items there if you would like a pair of these! : [link]

There are too few base pairs per turn of the helix. Average is ~10.
