Estrogen necklace | 18K gold vermeil
Few molecules shape a woman's life as much as this one, from her first period to the years after menopause. This estrogen necklace in 18K gold vermeil, based on estradiol, is a gift for the gynecologist, fertility specialist or endocrinologist in your life, or for a woman who knows the hormone from her own experience.
Who It's For
- a gynecologist or fertility specialist, when she opens her own practice
- a breast oncologist or endocrinologist, for her birthday
- a woman who has come through fertility treatment, as a keepsake
- a friend going through menopause who likes to know the science behind it
- yourself, if gold vermeil is what you wear every day
Why Falling Estrogen Brings Hot Flashes
Most women going through menopause know the sudden wave of heat. The cause sits in the brain, not the skin. A small group of nerve cells in the hypothalamus, wired to the body's thermostat, normally answers to estrogen. As estrogen falls, these cells grow larger and more active, and the range of body temperature the brain treats as comfortable narrows. A tiny rise in core temperature is then enough to set off flushing, sweating and a racing heart as the body tries to cool down. In 2023 a medicine that quiets these cells, fezolinetant, was approved in the US.

FAQ
How big is the pendant, and what chain comes with it?
The pendant is 32 mm (about 1.3 inches) wide, about a quarter wider than a 2-euro coin. The chain attaches at both ends, so it lies flat and level just below the collarbone. The chain is 45 cm (17.7 inches) of gold vermeil with a lobster clasp and a 5 cm (2 inch) extender. 18K gold vermeil means 2.5 microns of 18K gold over solid sterling silver, nickel-free and hypoallergenic.
Is there a silver version?
Yes. This estrogen necklace also comes in sterling silver, at the same 32 mm on the same 45 cm chain with a 5 cm extender. Choose the finish the recipient already wears: the design is the same in both. There is also a 3D estrogen necklace, a different design of the same molecule at 38 mm, in both finishes.
Is delivery free, and what if it isn't right?
Yes. 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.
Why did Western Australian sheep have so few lambs?
Because of what they ate. In the 1940s farmers in Western Australia saw their flocks producing far fewer lambs, and in some flocks most ewes failed to lamb at all. The sheep grazed on subterranean clover, a widely sown pasture plant. In 1946 veterinary researchers traced the problem to the clover itself. A few years later chemists found the reason: the clover makes compounds that act like weak estrogens, enough to disrupt the ewes' fertility. Similar plant estrogens occur in soy, red clover and many other plants.
