Neurobiology and beautiful jewelry come together only when the designer is as multi-talented as Dr. Jane Ko, creator of Linea Nirvenkitt jewelry.  Though her line’s delicate yet ultra-cool jewelry may not exude total textbook associations with science, Ko, who received her PhD in Neurobiology from Harvard University, in fact named her chic line after an arcane German term for a particular brain cell. 

One might wonder how such aesthetic and science can come together but the reason is simply this, as a scientist she appreciates texture and shape, as a woman she embraces the sparkle and beauty of jewelry, and as a designer she is able to put this all together with the elegance, quality and unique style of Linea Nirvenkitt.

While whimsically wrung about delicate chains, these gorgeous gems, in a multitude of colors, are securely positioned and are, in many forms, even edgy and severe. 
Long and distinct, the layered necklaces and earrings demand to be worn with confidence and supreme style, for they make the look of the outfit themselves, with such personality as can be seen in chandeliers and hanging beads. 

Ko’s Argento earrings, with their miniature strung pearls and seemingly endless length are the perfect addition to an evening outfit in their simultaneous neutrality and glitz while the chains of her sleek Graham earrings gather and hang like the ruffles of an intricate eighteenth century dress. Her Redgrave necklace gathers its chains in a similar fashion but leaves larger spaces to let the chest breathe, all the while bringing discreet coverage with a sleek, low-neck top. 

In monochromatic or colorful schemes, Ko’s feminine treasures are each so elaborately designed and built that they leave little work to be done outside the sphere of jewelry and accessories.  Dress plain with them and you’re sensational, dress colorfully and you’re stylish and exciting; just make sure your clothing and shoes don’t interfere with the glory of the jewels, they’re too pretty to be spoiled with sneakers and a university sweatshirt!
