Inscribed: XO XOXO XXOO XXXOOO A message of love in the ancient symbols x and o: hugs and kisses in an ever increasing sequence. Some say that when illiteracy was widespread, a person would mark a legal document with an X, and then, to affirm the integrity of their "signature," the X was kissed as a solemn oath - the O. Others claim the x and o are merely pictograms of a kiss and the enfolding arms of a hug. Whatever is true, these symbols are now recognized around the world and make us smile with delight.

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.
