JAMES E. WEST ~ MIC CHECK ~

An electrical engineer who helped transform modern sound technology while working at Bell Laboratories, James Edward West co‑invented the electret microphone with Gerhard Sessler during his second year of doctoral studies. Their small, battery‑free microphone replaced the older carbon model and revolutionized communications. By 2011, about 90% of all microphones used in phones, computers, hearing aids, and even space technology were based on West’s design.

His impact on electrical engineering earned him major recognition: the U.S. National Medal of Technology in 2006, 47 U.S. patents, more than 200 foreign patents, and over 100 scientific papers.” SALUTE!!!

This is a handcrafted piece of jewelry made with 10mm Onyx and Silver Hematite gemstones.
