New Mobius Knot Style Necklaces

This week I’ve added four new necklaces to the shop, all based on the Mobius knot. The Mobius is a geometric figure that has only one side and one edge. It is most often represented with a strip of paper; one way of visualizing it is the idea that if an ant were to crawl along the length of this strip, it would return to its starting point having traversed every part of the strip without ever crossing an edge.

In art & craft, the Mobius is often used to represent infinity and eternity. In chain maille, the Mobius knot (or Mobius flower, or Mobius spiral, or Mobius ball) is formed by weaving any number of rings through the centers of each other to resemble an endless spiral. In a seven-ring mobius knot, each ring goes through the centers of all six other rings.

There are already a number of pieces in the shop (necklaces, bracelets, and earrings) that incorporate the Mobius knot. Now there are four more: the Captured Mobius-7 Necklace, the Ocean Knot Necklace, the Captured Ocean Knot Necklace, and the Nest Necklace. All can be found in the Necklace section of the Etsy shop.

I’ve written a post that has a chart comparing all of the Mobius-style necklaces in the shop (number of rings, gauge of rings, width of mobius, and type of chain), and includes photos that show size comparisons. You can read the post here — you just might find it helpful when shopping…
