Product Description
All life is connected, and this pendant represents the entirety of our Earth-bound biological extended family. A phylogenetic tree is a diagram that shows the evolutionary relationship between species. Every form of life on earth comes from common ancestry, which you can see as the tiny vertical line in the center of the pendant. Each branch extending outward represents a split in the evolutionary path. The little circle on the right side of the pendant shows where humans reside in the diagram... like a "You Are Here" dot marking our place in evolutionary history. Although diagrams similar to phylogenetic trees had existed previously, Charles Darwin popularized the concept in The Origin of Species. They are still widely used because they so effectively communicate evolutionary backgrounds. This necklace is available in polished steel or gold plated steel. The pendants come on an 18 inch surgical steel or gold plated steel chain. Neither the pendants nor the chain will tarnish, saving you the trouble of periodically polishing your jewelry.

Customer Reviews
The pendant is beautiful and well made. The chain was shorter than I was expecting, and the pendant can't be removed, so I can't wear it that often. It's a little uncomfortable for me to wear that high on my chest for long periods of time. But I do love it.The pendant itself is good (I bought it in stainless steel, it's 27mm in diameter), but the chain is short.Also, the loop on top of the pendant that the chain goes through is quite narrow and you have to un-bend it in order to replace the chain, which compromises the strength of the material (or you can just cut the existing chain and your new chain has to be super narrow on one end to go through the loop).I am a biology major, so when I saw this, I immediately bought it. The pendant itself is great quality and has really kept its shine through every day wear. The chain is a good length and hasn’t broken, and doesn’t irritate my skin. Definitely a good buy!This is a really nice pendant, and I get a ton of questions about it. It's very sturdy and I wear it everyday. Totally recommend it!The necklace is exactly what I wanted! Exactly how advertised. Definitely will shop again at this store when I need scientific jewelry.Absolutely perfect! Gorgeous and delicate
