Red blood cells ring | sterling silver

The cell you carry in the billions — worn on your hand.

The Science of the Red Blood Cell

There are roughly 25 trillion red blood cells in the adult human body — more than any other cell type. Each biconcave erythrocyte lives for about 120 days, completing around 75,000 circuits of the circulatory system before being cleared by splenic macrophages. At any given moment, approximately 2 million new cells are being produced from bone marrow precursors to replace them. The ring captures the cell's iconic shape in sterling silver.
