Sine Bracelet

Designed by Catherine Söderberg — Flushing, NY, for Design Museum's Rapid Jewelry Design Competition

From the designer: "This piece is a mathematically derived upper forearm (near the elbow) cuff. Its fluidity is a direct representation of the sine and cosine inverse variable equations that it's formed by. The top and bottom parts of the cuff are seemingly two separate parts that meet and kiss at its polar end points. The threads therefore expand into separate fibers, or condense together to form solid surfaces."
