Collagen earring hoops | sterling silver
The triple helix rendered as an earring — structural biology you can wear.
The Science of Collagen
Collagen's triple helix — three Gly-X-Y repeating polypeptides wound into a superhelix — is the structural backbone of connective tissue. The intertwining of three chains gives collagen its exceptional tensile strength: a collagen fibril can withstand forces comparable to steel wire of the same cross-section. The earring hoops translate this twisted, three-stranded structure into a wearable form.
