What Lies Within – Ralph Waldo Emerson Bracelet – Gold Elliot Gold

Inscribed: “What lies before us and what lies behind us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us” – Ralph Waldo Emerson Emerson became the leading essayist of his day, a poet, and a preacher in the second Unitarian Church of Boston in 1829. He was a central figure of the philosophical movement known as transcendentalism, which held that reality is essentially mental or spiritual in nature. Whatever Emerson’s philosophical reasoning, this quotation is truly an inspirational one.

• Karat Gold
• Mobius Bracelet Size 7 7/8″ Inner Circumference
• Made in the USA

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. 

Jewelry crafted in Gold has been treasured since ancient times for its constant unchanging character and the richness of its warm, golden color that many people have felt, symbolizes the sun.

Our finely crafted and beautifully designed Gold jewelry will complement any look and the inscribed message will continue to inspire forever.  All of our gold jewelry is handcrafted by artisans in our studio in New York as a custom order and can be created in 14kt, 18kt, white and rose gold. Delivery is approximately three to four weeks
