For There Is No Friend Like A Sister In Calm Or Stormy Weather – Christina Rossetti Necklace Laurel Elliott

“Inscription: “For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather” with Christina Rossetti’s signature, from the closing lines of her poem “The Goblin Market”. Christina was lauded as one of the foremost romantic poets of her day for this poem and all that appeared in her book, The Goblin Market and other Poems. “”For there is no friend like a sister In calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, To fetch one if one goes astray, To lift one if one totters down, To strengthen whilst one stands. Christina continued to write children’s poetry and devotional work throughout her life. She was the sister of the Pre-Raphaelite poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti and was the model in several of his most well-known paintings.

• Sterling Silver Necklace
• Pendant Mobius 1″” diameter
• Chain length 18″””

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.
