Aorta necklace | 18k gold vermeil
The body's main arterial trunk — in 18k gold vermeil.
The Anatomy of the Aorta
The aortic arch and its branches are landmarks that every vascular surgeon, interventional cardiologist, and imaging specialist must know precisely. The pattern of supra-aortic branch origins is subject to anatomical variation: a bovine arch (common origin of the brachiocephalic trunk and left common carotid) occurs in 15–20% of people and has implications for endovascular procedures. The haemodynamics of the aortic arch — particularly the complex helical flow patterns — influence where atherosclerotic plaques develop and where endovascular stent-grafts must be designed to land.

FAQ
Q: How do you honour the main artery of the body?
A: With an aorta in gold vermeil. The ascending aorta branches into the coronary arteries that feed the heart. The arch branches give rise to the supra-aortic vessels. In 18k gold vermeil, it becomes a statement for cardiologists and vascular surgeons. Arrives ready-to-gift and ships free worldwide via DHL Express in 1-5 business days.
Q: What makes the aortic arch so anatomically complex?
A: The aortic arch curves and branches, giving rise to the brachiocephalic, left common carotid, and left subclavian arteries. These branches supply the arms and head. The geometry of the arch also distributes hemodynamic stress. Understanding this anatomy is critical for aortic surgery and for interpreting CT scans in trauma.
Q: What are the size and material?
A: 37 mm pendant in 18k gold vermeil (sterling silver core with 2.5 micron gold plating) on a 45 cm gold vermeil chain with a 5 cm extender. Nickel-free and hypoallergenic. All duties and taxes are covered.
Q: Is there a sterling silver version?
A: Yes. Aorta is also available in 925 sterling silver. Both versions are covered by a 30-day Love It or Return It policy.
