The most well known and romantic verse, Quatrain XI, from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is engraved in an elaborate script redolent of the middle east with a vine decoration inspired by Persian manuscript painting. Omar Khayyam [1048-1131] was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, philosopher and poet. He is most well known in the West, however, for this poetic work translated into English by Edward J. Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald's translations are broad and creative rather than literal, and it is, in some respects, an original work. No matter the author, the passion is clear on this silver engraved mobius bracelet.

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.
