All life is connected, and this pendant represents the entirety of our Earth-bound biological extended family. A phylogenetic tree is a diagram that shows the evolutionary relationship between species. Every form of life on earth comes from common ancestry, which you can see as the tiny vertical line in the center of the pendant. Each branch extending outward represents a split in the evolutionary path. The little circle on the right side of the pendant shows where humans reside in the diagram... like a "You Are Here" dot marking our place in evolutionary history.
Although diagrams similar to phylogenetic trees had existed previously, Charles Darwin popularized the concept in The Origin of Species. They are still widely used because they so effectively communicate evolutionary backgrounds.
This necklace is available in polished steel or gold plated steel. The pendants come on a surgical steel or gold plated steel 18 inch chain. Neither the pendants nor the chain will tarnish, saving you the trouble of periodic polishing. With reasonable care, your necklace should last and bring you science joy for years to come.

Wonderful design! Fine quality!
I love this piece! I bought it because I love the gorgeous, intricate design but in real life you can tell it's extremely well made, too. It's the perfect blend of nerdy and sophisticated, which I aspire to embody (at least sometimes). I love everything I've bought from Boutique Academia and this is definitely a new favorite.

My sister is a professor so I got her this necklace for her birthday. She was thrilled with it and is enjoying wearing it. I have never been disappointed in a purchase from this company. Wonderful customer service and creative and beautiful pieces. Thank you!

Shipping was faster than expected and product was of a high quality.
The brain necklace has great detail and the young lady who received it loved it!
Solar spectrum necklace; I ordered this for my daughter and she absolutely loved it. It arrived very quickly, packaged very safely and securely. I will definitely be making another purchase!
I was impressed with how fast my order was shipped, and it pleased me more when it arrived. It's exactly like the beautiful website shows.
Really happy with the quality and packaging. It just gave a little something extra to the buying experience. They loved the birthday gift. I am sure I will be buying more gifts in the future from you.
...my step-daughter suffers with low self esteem, always a fight to just nudge her along, in almost everything, she graduated high school and this May college, with a degree in a field she will excel at, for the first time she is looking forward instead of her feet, I saw the bracelet, it was for her. Her battle her success, a little token of respect, to let her know, her mother and I noticed.
Another fantastic product from a fantastic company. Always a hit as a gift.
Everyone loved their gifts from your pop up store before Christmas! Very reasonable in price too.
My granddaughter really loved the physics jewelry.
I absolutely love this necklace! It is lightweight yet durable and the stars are clearly imprinted on the necklace! One of my favorite pieces yet!
Mobius Necklace "To thine own self be true"
Great site! A lot of awesome designs for Science minded folks and other open minded humans. My wife was stoked with the necklace.
I bought Christmas presents for my friends who are science majors on this site, and they all came early, were packaged beautifully, and are made so well. The craftsmanship is so impressive. I bought the brain necklace, bacteriophage necklace, and binary love necklace and they're truly all such beautiful pieces, this is going to be my go-to site for presents now. Truly quality products, highly recommend.
The necklace is exactly what I was looking for i.e. something different
Exactly as described and arrived in 2 or 3 days. I'm very happy.
These are the 2nd and 3rd purchases for us from Boutique Academia and they won't be the last! Excellent quality and beautiful craftsmanship.
Reasonably priced, and with a creative flair for things scientific, I thoroughly enjoyed perusing Boutique Academia before purchasing my caffeine chemical formula necklace.
I bought my wife who is an RN the anatomical heart necklace and earrings. She loved them. Great jewelry for anyone with a love for science.
Boutique Academia seems like a really lovely organization- my necklace arrived promptly and with great customer service pre-post delivery. My daughter loved the necklace which looks like the picture and is made of quality materials. So many cool things on the website, I will be purchasing again!
Love my "atomic" earrings. They are made well and have gotten several comments about them.
It's cute - lots better than I anticipated. Thanks for good craftsmanship!
My niece who just graduated with a B.S. Biochemistry degree loved this necklace. She thinks she will score points at her new job as a research assistant.
I bought this for a gift. It is perfect!
I love this company and all it represents. I lovingly describe it to people as "nerd jewelry", self identifying as such from my roots as a biology geek, but I mean it lovingly and I recommend B.A. to many people. From scientists, to coders, to teachers and therapists, everything the company offers piques my interest. I have ordered teacher and holiday gifts from you for years, and this year will be gifting myself the Latin necklace as inspo for 2020, and the two Serotonin, Dopamine, & Acetylcholine necklaces to therapists I know who work so hard for their patients. Thanks again for making inspiring stuff that rises about the rest. Excelsior.
My daughter is studying neuroscience and loved receiving this keychain as a gift. The detail is impressive.
Perfect! Beauty and science and diversity together.
