Mass Spectrum Earrings

These earrings represent mass spectra, graphical representations of the data generated when a molecule or peptide is ionized by an analytical technique called mass spectrometry. Each peak in a mass spectrum represents a fragment with a different mass-to-charge ratio, and the pattern of these peaks is a unique signature for particular molecular structures allowing scientists to identify molecules in their samples.

This mass spectrum represents a peptide fragment from a proteomic experiment.

The earrings measure approximately 2 cm (0.55 inches) below the bail and are 9 mm wide (0.35 inches).

The earrings are available in solid sterling silver or 14K gold plated brass, finished with nickel-free sterling silver or gold plated silver hooks to match, and are ready for gift giving with a gift box, polishing cloth, and care instructions.
