Thank you Mrs Roentgen!








This picture was taken on 22/12/1895. What it shows should be easily recognized by everybody: an x-ray of a human hand. Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen from Germany was the first to use radiation for scanning the body. His experiment object was his wife. Well, his wife’s hand. For this discovery he earned the Nobel Prize for physics. Magnolia Silver Jewellery of course honors Roentgen but has anybody ever spent one thought about honoring his wife as well? On the one hand she had been exposed to harmful radiation. And on the other hand, come on, fashionistas look at the beautiful ring! Her wedding ring is not a classical thin and golden ring. It is a ring with a very big stone – which is quite on trend today! So on physical aspect: Thank you Mrs Roentgen for donating your hand to science! And on the fashion aspect: Thank you for already wearing fashionable rings and showing the beauty of jewellery with this picture which is by the way in the list of the “100 world changing pictures”
