Biojewellery had it's first major show at Guy's Hospital from 7th December - 14th February 2007. The rings have now been returned to their owners, while the exhibition continues to move around different venues. It's currently installed in the Central Middlesex Hospital

This exhibition documents each stage of the project, from the donation and culturing of cells, to the design of the jewellery and the actual making of the rings. A booklet was designed to accompany the show, a pdf version can be downloaded here. Get in touch if you would like a printed copy sent to you.
