{"title":"Eve's Primitive Line","description":"\u003cp\u003eMitochondrial Eve's Primitive Line is Mama Doll's artistic imagining of what jewelery artisans some two hundred thousand years ago, during the life and times of Eve, might have handcrafted from the simple elements Earth provided. Copper is at its heart not only for elemental beauty, but for its relationship with melanin. Copper is essential to a key biological process that produces melanin. That connection between copper and pigmentation in our skin, eyes and hair gives the material special meaning in the story of ME. The pieces are purposely simple, handmade, textured. No attempt at luxury, just elements meeting Earth and the magic of melanin. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"melanin-copper-cuff™","title":"Melanin Copper Cuff™ | 100% Copper Bracelet","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eMAMA ME-Ah!™ Collection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEverything you see is crafted by ME\" - Mama Doll\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Melanin Copper Cuff™\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is\u003c\/span\u003e individually handmade by Mama Doll as part of her\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMAMA ME-Ah!™ Collection\u003c\/b\u003e, where every ME Doll begins as an original artistic concept and is brought to life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eMore than jewelry, the Melanin Copper Cuff™ is a wearable celebration of origin, identity, and the extraordinary chemistry within us.
