Juniper Necklace in Vermeil Gold – A Botanical Ode to Chemistry

Here’s to the plant that makes cocktails sparkle and chemists smile. Our vermeil gold juniper necklace pays tribute to Juniperus communis and its star compound, camphor — the molecule responsible for gin’s unmistakable kick and centuries of medicinal lore.

This piece reimagines the juniper molecule in shimmering vermeil gold: a thick layer of 18K gold luxuriously bonded to sterling silver. The result is a necklace that blends scientific curiosity with timeless elegance. Think of it as molecular botany you can actually wear — stylish enough for a gala, clever enough for a lab meeting.

Fun fact: juniper “berries” aren’t berries at all, but cone-like seed carriers packed with aromatic terpenes. From flavoring drinks to warding off spirits (the ghostly kind, not just the liquid kind), juniper has always been nature’s multitasker.

Whether you’re raising a glass, presenting a poster, or just want a jewelry piece that tells a story, this juniper necklace delivers. A sparkling nod to science, style, and a hint of gin-soaked wit.
