This pendant is inspired by the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Saccharomyces is not only an indispensable organism for baking bread, brewing beer and making wine but also is an important model organism for scientists. In addition to being easy to grow, Saccharomyces is also easy to genetically transform and is used for the production of recombinant proteins. These proteins include biopharmaceuticals necessary for the treatment of diabetes, hepatitis and anemia as well as proteins studied in many other scientific disciplines besides medicine.
The Saccharomyces model depicts yeast cell division, called 'budding.' The larger mother yeast cell is giving rise to a smaller daughter cell. The mother cell shows budding scars hotsell from previous daughter cells.
This elegant pendant measures 1.7cm below the loop.
The pendant is 3D printed in gold plated steel, solid bronze, 14K gold plated brass, or sterling silver, finished with a 45 cm/18 inch long gold plated silver, rose gold plated silver chain, or silver chain to match*, and is ready for gift giving with a gift box, polishing cloth, and care instructions.
*While a 45 cm/18 inch fits most, other chain lengths are available. At checkout, write a note indicating your preference.
