We are pleased to introduce Laurel Elliott's sterling silver mobius bangle bracelets as the newest additions to our inspirational jewelry collection. Laurel's designs feature .925 solid sterling silver cuffs and mobius twist bracelets gracefully inscribed with scripture, prayer, and inspirational messages. Laurel's designs echo her belief that what we wear is also a reflection of who we are and where we've been. From a prayer that has offered us comfort in troubled times, to a quotation that has inspired us to aspire to more than we are, or a song that reminds us of the beauty of life, wearing the written word expresses and affirms our individuality, our own art.
Many of Laurel Elliott's signature jewelry designs feature a mobius shape. Named after the German Mathematician August Ferdinand Mobius (1790-1868), the mobius represents the seeming paradox of a plane without end or of one infinite length. As such, the mobius became a symbol for infinity. Mobius bangle bracelets and pendants turn easily so that the wearer can be reminded of the message at a glance. The engraved message on these designs repeats around the plane into infinity when worn, changing the appearance continually, while the message remains constant.
All of Laurel Elliott's jewelry is handcrafted in the SoHo District of Manhattan in the historic 19th century Cable Building. Her jewelry is created using the lost wax method, a technique in use since ancient times. Molten wax is injected into design molds to produce wax replicas of the model. The waxes are covered with a medium called investment. When heated, the investment hardens while the wax melts away leaving a hollow core. Molten metal flows into this core producing the castings. The castings are then cleaned and finished by hand. The final step is polishing to give it the striking, reflective surface of fine jewelry. It is a time consuming process involving significant care and work, all completed by craftspeople in their studio in Manhattan.
