LA BOHEME MOBIUS STRIP BRACELET
Non- Member Price : $100.00
Member Price : $90.00
A band of silver is formed into a Mobius strip with one continuous surface, on which are inscribed the words of Puccini's beautiful aria, Mi chiamo Mimi (I am called Mimi). The lovely lyrics tell of Mimi's love of beauty and her happy spirit. The elliptical shape sits comfortably about the hand, while the form itself displays unusual geometric properties.

The shape is known as a Möbius strip, after the German mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius (1790-1868). It represents the seeming paradox of a plane without end, or one of infinite length. As such it became accepted as a symbol for infinity, an appropriate and symbolic form for this memorable inscription.

La Boheme sterling silver bracelet measures 7 5/8 inches in circumference, ellipse: 2 13/16 x 2 ½ inches and width: 3/16 - 5/16 inches

Made in the U.S.A.
