This stunning sterling silver bracelet is inscribed with the first half of sonnet 116. The first two quatrains (eight lines) have been finely engraved onto this hand-finished sterling silver bracelet with unusual properties.
The geometric shape is known as a "Mobius strip," after the German mathematician August Ferdinand Mobius. It represents the seeming paradox of a plane without end or one of the infinite length. As such is became accepted as the symbol for infinity, an appropriate and symbolic form for love eternal.
Sonnet 116 reads:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Bolded lines are what appears on bracelet.
Also availabe in 14k gold. Gold bracelet is made to order and will take 2-3 weeks until it ships.
2.8 inches in diameter. | |
