Shakespeare sonnet bracelet

£95.00

Members' price *

  • This Sonnet, no 116, is among the most well known; phrases from it have entered the language and are often used in the marriage ceremony.

    The sonnet has been finely engraved onto a hand finished sterling silver bracelet with unusual properties. The geometric form is known as a Mobius strip, after the German mathematician August Ferdinand Mobius (1790-1868). It represents the seeming paradox of a plane without end, or one of infinite length. As such, it became accepted as the symbol for infinity and appropriate as a symbolic form.

    Sonnet 116
    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.
