Mothers around the world are referred to by their chilrden with word sounds which are striklingly similar, despite speaking in totally unrelated languages. This bracelet is an homage to motherhood, and seeks to draw these threads together into a beautiful piece of jewelry. 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.
Sterling silver Mom bracelet measures 7 5/8 inches in circumference, ellipse: 2 13/16 x 2 ½ inches and width: 3/16 - 5/16 inches.
