Carbon: periodic table necklace

IdeaLiza — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 05:57:44 GMT

This necklace features the element carbon from the periodic table. The pendant is 26 mm square and 4 mm thick. The wood is sealed to protect the timber, and the pendant is hung on an 18 inch long and 1.2 mm wide silver plated snake chain and is fastened with a lobster clasp. Carbon is the chemical basis of all known life, and appears in many forms including graphite and diamond. Trees incorporate carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide into biomass, slowing the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. By making objects from wood this carbon is stored forever. This necklace can be taken as a geeky reminder of a serious issue, or simply as an interesting science themed piece.
