Intelligent Jewelry of the Day: Fibonacci Sequence Ring from Etsy seller Holmes Craft.
1, 1, 2, 3… The beads on the Fibonacci Sequence Ring line up in homage to the world’s most famous set of numbers.
The ring above is presently sold out (natch), but a very similar ring made of sterling silver and amazonite semiprecious beads is still available. Custom orders also available by request.
