Description
Inscribed: "May the road rise to meet you. May God hold you in the hollow of His hand." with an ancient Celtic trinity knot. The derivation of this familiar blessing is uncertain, though many believe it was spoken by St. Patrick himself. The opening lines now famous in the English language are a bit different from the opening lines in Gaelic which translate more exactly to 'success in your journey', or 'may you succeed on your journey'. We chose the more popular version.
- 14 Karat Yellow, Rose, or White
- Mobius Pendant Size 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.
