Pi Necklace in Gold Vermeil: The Number That Never Ends and Never Repeats, in Gold
π ≈ 3.14159... and then it continues indefinitely, without pattern, without end. The most recognized mathematical constant in the world, in 18K gold vermeil at 14 mm. For mathematicians, physicists, and engineers who want gold jewelry with genuine mathematical weight.
The Science Behind Pi
Pi has been approximated since ancient Babylon (~1900 BC) and ancient Egypt (~1650 BC). Archimedes of Syracuse (~250 BC) provided the first rigorous bounds, using polygons with 96 sides inscribed and circumscribed around a circle to establish 3 10/71 < π < 3 1/7. The symbol π was introduced by Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706 and popularized by Leonhard Euler. Pi is irrational — it cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers — as proven by Johann Heinrich Lambert in 1761. It is also transcendental — not the root of any polynomial equation with rational coefficients — as proven by Ferdinand von Lindemann in 1882. This transcendence also proved that squaring the circle by compass and straightedge is impossible. Pi appears in Euler's identity (e^iπ + 1 = 0), in Gaussian integrals, in Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and in the volume formula for spheres of any dimension.
