Dopamine serotonin ring | sterling silver
For some women, dopamine and serotonin are the science they study or work with every day. For others, they are part of their own story. This dopamine serotonin ring keeps the pair close. Buy it for yourself, or for a daughter or partner who brings up neurotransmitters at dinner.
Who It's For
- yourself, after wanting it for a long time, or to mark a turning point
- a nurse, pharmacist, psychologist or psychiatrist who works with mood and mental health
- a daughter in pharmacy school, pre-med or biotechnology, for a birthday or graduation
- a girlfriend, wife or partner, for an anniversary, or as an engagement ring that isn't a diamond
- a friend graduating in chemistry, biology or neuroscience
Marina P. bought her own: “I have wanted this ring for several years. And finally, I made myself a present! I'm so happy with it!” Kathleen A. gave it to her daughter: “My daughter loved the ring and thought it was very appropriate as she is studying Bio-technology at University. She says it's a real conversation starter as people are intrigued by the design and are always commenting on it.”
The Science Behind Dopamine and Serotonin
Dopamine and serotonin are chemical cousins. Each has an aromatic ring, a single one in dopamine and a double one in serotonin, with a two-carbon side chain that ends in one amine group. That is why both are called monoamines. The same enzyme carries out the last step in making both. In the brain, the main supply of each comes from small groups of neurons deep in the midbrain and brainstem, a tiny share of the brain's roughly 86 billion nerve cells. Their reach is far wider. Serotonin fibres run to almost every part of the brain, and dopamine fibres to the regions that handle movement, motivation and planning.

FAQ
How do I choose the right size?
The ring comes in US sizes 5 to 9, roughly EU 49 to 60. Measure the inside of a ring she already wears on the same finger and compare it with a size chart. If she is between two sizes, write to support@sciencejewelry1824.shop before you order and we'll help you choose. If it doesn't fit, return it unworn within 30 days for a refund and order the right size. It is 925 sterling silver, nickel-free and hypoallergenic.
Does it come in gold, or as a single molecule?
It does. The same dopamine serotonin ring comes in 9K solid yellow gold, also in US sizes 5 to 9. Choose the metal she already wears: the design is the same in both. If one of the two molecules matters more to her, there is a dopamine ring and a serotonin ring in sterling silver, and the dopamine serotonin necklace pairs with any of them.
Can she wear it every day?
Yes, with a little care. It is an openwork band, and the design is open at the front, where its two ends almost meet, so it can catch on knitwear or the lining of a bag. Take it off for the gym, gardening, washing up and anything that squeezes the hand, and store it on its own so it doesn't scratch. To clean it, rinse it under warm water and dry it with a soft cloth. A silver polishing cloth brings back the shine.
How fast does it arrive, and can it be returned?
DHL Express delivers free in 1-5 business days worldwide, and we pay the import duties and taxes, so nothing is due at the door. It arrives in a ready-to-gift jewelry box and festive envelope. If it isn't right, our 30-day “Love It or Return It” policy applies.
Who discovered serotonin in the brain?
In 1948 Maurice Rapport, Arda Green and Irvine Page at the Cleveland Clinic isolated a substance from blood serum that tightens blood vessels. They were looking for a cause of high blood pressure, and they named it serotonin. In 1952 Betty Twarog, then 25, joined Page's lab. As a PhD student at Harvard she had found signs that mussel nerves use serotonin to signal to muscle, and she suspected the brain used it too. In 1953 she and Page reported serotonin in the mammalian brain. It was the first report of serotonin there, and it opened the question of what it does.
