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.
Perfect for:
I'm a huge fan of this necklace - the design is gorgeous, it's well made as far as I can tell, and international delivery worked without any issues. The only thing I wish was different is if there was a heavier, sturdier version for guys like me. It would be great to have a few more masculine designs available in the store. :)
Quality was great. Absolutely enthralled with the pieces. Worth every penny.
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.

I ordered two necklaces for my wife and their quality was great, she liked them very much. Also the shipment and delivery to Europe where I live was fast
I have searched for science themed jewelry and have purchased several items from Boutique Academia. I have loved all of the pieces! Great quality and design!
I love these, though they are a little heavy which makes my ears sore if I wear them all day. Interestingly, they freak out my autistic son who, as soon as he saw them, complained that they are both the same hemisphere.
Sent these to my cousin who is a teacher and math lover, and she was so excited! they are beautiful!
I was really surprised and impressed by the incredible selection of truly unique jewelry offered by Boutique Academia. My niece is a star student, and math is one of her favourite subjects, so the gift was a hit. Now I'm officially the 'cool auntie.' Great experience all around!
It was delivered promptly, was exactly as expected, and looks pretty.
Amazing customer service and beautiful products!
Their jewelry is the most unusual and unique on the market. The science themed pieces are amazing. I purchased the EKG rhythm one (since I tend to have heart rhythm issues) and my doctor took a minute then asked if it was an EKG segment. The other piece was a beautiful globe with binoculars. Very unique and I know it will get a lot of compliments. I received the order timely and the company communicated excellently. I'll be scouring their site for more - I just noticed the Mobius Pendant.

I searched for a unique gift for my daughter who is a chemical engineer and found these. They are quite beautiful, she loved them. The customer service was excellent and shipping was super fast and I have recommended the store to others -
already choosing a birthday gift for myself. Boutique Academia is a real find if you are seeking a gift for your grad.
Bought the DNA necklace and the Binary Love necklace as graduation presents. Both are beautifully made pieces and look far more expensive than they are. Both the recipients were thrilled with their present. Glad to have found this online store...will surely buy from here again.
As a math teacher, this was the best present to myself after this very crazy pandemic year!
I love the Atomic necklace. New favorite piece of jewelry.
