Fibonacci Rings

By John Farrier in Art, Science & Tech on Dec 8, 2009 at 10:12 pm

The Fibonacci sequence, named after a 13th Century Italian mathematician, is a sequence of numbers in which every third number is the sum of the previous two numbers. This ring and others like it by Etsy seller Holmes Craft is an homage to that mathematical sequence in that the beads are organized according to the first four Fibonacci numbers.

    To be a math geek, that’s not exactly the definition of the Fibonacci sequence. It’s strictly true, but not as broad as the real definition. The sequence begins with 1, 1, and every number after that is the sum of the two previous entries.

    …and the ring is really pretty, too.

    That ring is just gorgeous. I crocheted a muffler scarf for my stepson a couple of years ago, the pattern of stripes therein based upon the Fibonacci sequence. I’m not a math geek, I just thought it was an interesting way of making stripes so that they weren’t repetitive but weren’t random, either.

    Really a very good idea to design this ring through Fibonacci mathematical formula .The best thing of designing through Fibonacci formula is that there is no chance of getting repetition in the ring .Color patterns are really awesome to look.

    I don’t generally wear jewelry, but I’d wear something like this

    I am obsessed with the Fibonacci sequence for some reason. I love that ring.
