Science Bracelet: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

August 4, 2008

Your fashionista friends will think you're sporting a pretty silver bracelet, but your geek friends will know better — that your bracelet spells out "science" in amino acids!

The Science Bracelet from Etsy ($160) is a sterling-silver beauty that uses the one-letter codes for amino acids to spell S-C-I-E-N-C-E, and the seller also mentions that custom letter combinations can be requested as well. I think it's geeky and sexy, but you might prefer to spend $160 on Kenneth Jay Lane baubles instead! What do you think?

This is absolutely gorgeous, and the price is probably commensurate with the time and experience it took for the seller to make it......but I have to admit, it is far too expensive. Maybe GeeKouture?

I've got the geek version, and absolutely love all of this artists pieces. You can use the available letters for anything you want, so can have your own secret message-excellent!

I like it because it's subtle. Unless you are a geek and look at it closely, it's hard to tell what it is.

I love molecule jewelry. I'm hoping my hubbie gets me the caffeine necklace.

i think it would be totally cute if you could choose the letters and have it say whatever you wanted, like someones name or something like that! no one would know what it said, that'd be fun!
