The biconcave disc that carries oxygen to every cell in the body — rendered in warm 18k gold vermeil.
The Science of the Red Blood Cell
Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are among the most specialised cells in the body. They have shed their nucleus and most organelles to maximise haemoglobin content — approximately 270 million molecules per cell. The iconic biconcave disc shape maximises surface area for oxygen diffusion and gives the cell the flexibility to deform through capillaries smaller than itself. With a lifespan of 120 days and a production rate of roughly 2 million cells per second, erythrocytes are the most numerous cell type in the human body.

FAQ
Q: What is the chain length?
A: 45cm (18 inches), gold vermeil (sterling silver with 18k gold plating). Warm gold tones that shift how the biconcave geometry catches light.
Q: Who would appreciate this as a gift?
A: Anyone who loves science and jewellery that whispers instead of shouts. Medical professionals, biologists, or someone with a thoughtful sense of style.
Q: How does gold plating affect the look of the biconcave shape?
A: The gold softens the reflectivity compared to pure silver, making the dimensional geometry more subtle. Still unmistakable to anyone who knows what it is.
Q: How do I maintain the gold plating?
A: Avoid prolonged water exposure and harsh soaps. Pat dry after cleaning. The plating is durable but will gradually fade with wear, which many find beautiful. We deliver via DHL Express globally.
