Shakespeare Sonnet Silver Bracelet

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. <br> <br>Well-loved phrases from the sonnet have been finely engraved onto a hand finished sterling silver bracelet with unusual properties. The geometric form is known as a Moebius strip, after the German mathematician August Ferdinand Moebius (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. <br> <br> The inscription reads as follows - <br> <br><i> CXVI<br>Let me not to the marriage of true minds <br> Admit impediments. Love is not love <br> Which alters when it alteration finds, <br> Or bends with the remover to remove: <br> O no! it is an ever-fixed mark <br> That looks on tempests and is never shaken; <br> It is the star to every wandering bark, <br> Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. </i>

A sterling silver bangle inscribed with William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116.

Sonnet 116 relates to love and marriage, and a section from the verse has been finely engraved onto this hand-finished sterling silver bracelet.

The shape of the bracelet is known as a Möbius Strip, after the German mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius (1790-1868). It represents the seeming paradox of a plane with no end, and as such has become accepted as the symbol for infinity.

The inscribed text reads:

CXVI
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.

An exquisite gift celebrating England’s most famous poet and playwright.
