Find the anatomical heart necklace with garnet blood drop, DNA strand double helix earrings, brain friendship necklace set, and uterus necklace in our newest collection of artisan, handmade jewelry inspired by human anatomy and medical science.
It’s easy to live life forgetting about the teeming world within our own skin. While we quietly read a book or watch television, our bodies are ceaselessly pulsating—a cyclical rhythm pounding loudly and fiercely if we press a stethoscope to our chests. Even our silent bones are alive with marrow. My Anatomy Collection is inspired by what’s beneath the surface—the thriving web of organs, bones and tissues that gently comprise us. This hand-sculpted collection of artisan anatomy jewelry brings the inside outside. See the entire collection of artisan, handmade anatomy jewelry here.

I’ve rereleased our original IUD pendant on a thicker chain in this collection as I felt it fit so well with the rest of my Anatomy Collection.

You may add an extender to lengthen your necklace here.
When the skull speaks… If you’re a fidgeter, you’ll love playing with this skull pendant that has a mobile jaw attached.

If you like this skull necklace, be sure to check out our Catacomb Cuff Bracelet.
Our Catacomb Cuff Bracelet was inspired by the Parisian catacombs, underground tunnels meticulously and artfully stacked with human bones. I’ve stacked bronze bones and skulls to mimic the hauntingly beautiful structures of the ancient underground tombs. This catacomb cuff is a substantial piece of solid bronze that is slightly sizable; you can go ahead and give it a very strong tug at each end to widen it or a very firm push at each end to make it smaller. As with all cuffs, we recommend getting it to the size you prefer then wriggling it on and off. The inside measurements of the cuff from end to end are approximately 6 inches not including the opening. If you like the catacomb bracelet, be sure to check out our skull necklace with mobile jaw.
Who is the left brain and who is the right brain? It’s fun to decide who is who with these matching brain friendship necklaces. Or if you’d rather just have a half brain for yourself, you can buy one necklace for you. The brain pendants were completely carved by hand, including interior details on the dissection. It’s not anatomically correct, but it is still pretty dang detailed. The charms are solid bronze, and the chains are 14k gold-filled and 18 inches long. You may add an extender here if you like a longer necklace. The set includes two opposite halves of a brain that match up when placed together.
