What’s better than a beautiful bracelet? One that makes you smarter.
The Science Boutique is a shop where fashion and science converge. It’s run by The Astronista. We’re giving away a scientifically accurate Moon Phase Bracelet in honor of Persephone Magazine’s birthday.
This bracelet displays the eight phases of the Moon: New, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter and Waning Crescent. The phases are presented in the correct order in which they occur in the sky.
The images are set in high quality resin in the bracelet settings. There are 8 settings in total, each setting measures 0.5 inches (1 cm) in diameter. The bracelet is 9 inches (23 cms) at its longest setting. The bracelet comes in two colors; either silver or copper. Please select the color you would like.
Each item is sent in a muslin gift bag, which is adorned with The Science Boutique logo.
Note, that since these are handmade, no two are exactly the same!
Join in the fun and tell us your all-time favorite scientist.

Yes please….
I don’t have a favorite scientist?
Wow, that’s gorgeous! As for me, my favorite scientist is either Rosalind Franklin or Hedy Lamarr.
That is so gorgeous!
I’d have to say my favorite is Marie Curie… but Lady Ada Lovelace is a close second.
Gorgeous bracelet! Not only does it look good, but it makes you look smart too. ;)
My favorite scientist is my dad! He’s an organic chemist, and he is fantastic.
My favorite scientists in recent years are teenage girls. No joke.
A couple years ago, Angela Zhang created a nanoparticle that detects cancer cells, which is AWESOME and a potential cure for cancer. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/15/angela-zhang-high-school-_n_1207177.html
Earlier this year, Eesha Khare invented a supercapacitor that charges faster and lasts longer than conventional batteries. http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/1837128/report-18-year-old-eesha-khare-invents-a-revolutionary-device-that-can-charge-a-phone-in-20-secondcs
Teen girls are doing INCREDIBLE things in STEM, and it’s really exciting to see!
I’m going for the cutesy answer (and cheating, too): my favourite scientists are Juniper Junior and Little Juniper. It is so amazing watching them figure out how the world works.
Favorite Scientist: Bill Nye the Science Guy, OF COURSE! (how did no one else mention him yet?)
Oh my, this bracelet is gorgeous! I might have to buy if I don’t win it as well. :D
Wow, this is beautiful!
This is just gorgeous. I can’t tell if I want to give it to a friend or keep it for my greedy self.
As for female scientists, I’ve gotta go with Sally Ride.
I can’t possibly choose ONE favorite scientist; there’s a favorite for every mood and situation! Today, for sheer WTF-ness, I will tap Nikola Tesla for the honor.
That bracelet is awesome, and so is the store!
This is the singular most amazing thing in the world and I love it. I’m going to show the shop to my daughter, because educational jewelry is a concept that will blow her little sparkle-loving mind.
One of my favorite scientists is Temple Grandin, and of course who doesn’t love Neil DeGrasse Tyson?!
The bracelet is awesome, I would love to win it!
Eeeeeeee! I have a mighty need.
I wants it, but I will probably buy it if I don’t win anyway like MJ
Oh man, that is beautiful. Also, that whole store is fantastic.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I want I want I want I want I want.
I will buy this if I don’t win it. WANT.
