Genetic Surrogate Rings of Critically Endangered Species. Recycled gold, vitreous enamel and repurposed precious gemstones.

​

Jet worked with scientists at the Frozen Arc Project to include an accurate identifying strand of genomic data within each ring. A strand of DNA pertaining to 3 iconic critically endangered species is engraved with CNC machining beneath the surface of the enamel. 

These animals recognised as amazing species include the Philippine Eagle, Tarzan’s Chameleon & Peacock Tarantula. 

​

Given that jewellery can survive for thousands of years, Jet is memorialising these precious entities in jewels. This taps into a long established tradition in jewellery as practised by cultures from the Ancient Egyptians to the Victorians.
