Show off your inner Geek with Molecular Jewelry. The term geek has reversed meaning entirely within a generation, and somehow being smart or obsessed with something does not have the negative connotations it once did. Many people proudly proclaim to be “geeks”, and fashion is reflecting this new intelligence trend. From the periodic table of elements printed onto t-shirts, to jewelry that looks like tiny molecules it is clear that Smart is the new Black.

As this trend of focusing on the small things progresses, it is easy to speculate about what is next. There are pieces of jewelry that resemble the DNA double helix and pieces that show atoms with electrons circling around, and elemental symbols are used to brand shows (Breaking Bad = Br Ba). Will we see the rise of microscopic pictures or things we enjoy? Under a microscope beach sand appears to be tiny gemstones, zinc oxide looks like a field of flowers, and household dust appear to be a colorful menagerie of whimsical items. Could a blown up microscopic image of your loved one’s dust make a lovely print for a baby doll t-shirt? Or a sand sample from your honeymoon of Saint Barts be turned into a canvas print or a design idea for your next gemstone jewelry piece. The possibilities are endless, and somehow getting down to the smallest level is the best way to show exactly who we really are with art.
