Stem Cell Pendant

This series of pendants is modeled after stem cells. Stem cells are self replenishing cells that can become any cell type, or multiple different cell types. They are found in almost every tissue and system in the body. They were originally identified in the blood.

 Robin Cassady-Cain launched her jewellery collection in 2019, the culmination of three aspects of interest: goldsmithing, textiles and biology. 

Cells and themes of the immune system have been transformed into sculptural jewellery pieces.  Other cells that have provided inspiration include muscle cells, and stem cells.

Robin's designs are informed by shape, line and texture and are mainly made in sterling silver and gold. The incorporation of precious and semi-precious gemstones and textiles, including felt, are ways that Robin adds a pop of colour to the designs!
