About the Jewelry

These earrings were made with pieces of a 12” silicon wafer. The chips on this 2006 wafer were very large, 20mmx23mm. These chips were custom logic used in IBM’s large system computers. Under this card is a micro-photo of a 0.1x0.1mm wafer section.  This wafer had about a hundred chips on it. Today, the vast majority of chips created are unique chips used for a specific purpose. We call these chips Application Specific Integrated Circuits or ASICs. These chips are made for computers, vehicles, vending machines, appliances, tools, toys, phones, cameras, etc. Any machine that is smart, has one or more computer chips in it. For example, A car can have hundreds of computer chips in it. 

These chips display striking iridescent rainbow hues that shift with lighting and the angle of view. As they move, they shimmer and flash like fire!

Included in the resealable bag:

The 3/4" silver-plated earrings (since these are handmade, yours may look slightly different than the one pictured here, but satisfaction is guaranteed), a micro-photo of the computer chip, and a ChipScapes card that gives information about this jewelry (see the picture).
