Inscription: “I paint my own reality” created and engraved in Frida Kahlo’s own handwriting with her signature. The full quote is: “I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.” In living our lives, we all create our own realities which is perhaps why this quote resonates with so many people. Frida Kahlo’s work, including her many self portraits, was inspired and influenced by the bright colors and dramatic symbolism surrounding her in native country, Mexico.

The mobius is our signature shape and we were one of the first jewelers to deduce how to reproduce it via the lost wax casting method. Named after the German mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius [1790-1868], the mobius represents the seeming paradox of a plane without end or one of infinite length. As such, it became accepted as a symbol for infinity. The oval mobius bracelets fit comfortably, turning easily on the wrist, so that the wearer can be reminded of the message at a glance. The single mobius necklace moves on the chain when worn, changing its appearance continually, while the message remains constant. Our new double mobius necklace with its flowing, complex shape is an exciting addition to the collection, allowing for a longer message than the single mobius. The engraved message on these pieces repeats around the plane into infinity.
