Inscribed: “And the song from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend” with Henry W. Longfellow's signature. These are the two concluding lines from Longfellow's poem The Arrow and the Song, a three-stanza poem composed of four lines or quatrains in each stanza. Longfellow was one of the most widely known and best-loved American poets of the 19th C. His extensive works include Paul Revere's Ride, The Song of Hiawatha and Evangeline. He had a remarkably productive and influential literary career teaching at Bowdoin College and then at Harvard University while continuing to publish throughout his life.

The complete poem:
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth,
I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

  • Sterling Silver
  • Double Mobius 1" Diameter
  • Chain length 18"
  • Made in the USA

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.

Ring Sizing Information: Comfort Fit vs. Standard Fit

Alternative metal rings are made with "comfort fit" sizing. This means that the inside of the ring is rounded, which helps it slide over your knuckle easier. The inside diameter of the ring gets bigger as you get closer to the edge of the ring. In contrast, standard fit rings are flat on the inside of the ring, which means the inside diameter is the same as you move along from one edge to the other. Because of this difference, comfort fit rings tend to fit looser than standard fit rings of the same size. As a general rule of thumb, when purchasing a comfort fit ring, you should choose a size that is about a half size smaller than your standard fit ring size. Different jewelers have tools to measure ring size, but they may vary slightly, which can cause different jewelers to measure your finger at slightly different sizes. The width of a ring can affect sizing. Generally, a ring 10 mm or wider can feel tight and you may be just fine staying at the same size as your standard ring size. Because sizing can vary, please keep in mind that there will be slight variances of +/- 0.25 mm.
