Description

Black ruthenium-plated pendant from the “Magic Square” collection, inspired by Albrecht Dürer’s famous engraving “Melencolia I” (1514). In Dürer’s work, there are many mysterious symbols, but none is more enigmatic and full of possible meanings than the famous magic square with the magic constant 34. The sum 34 can be found in the rows, columns, diagonals, each quadrant, the center four squares, the corner squares… There are almost 90 different combinations of four numbers in the Dürer’s square that sum to 34!

Made of bronze, to honor the millenniums-long artistic tradition of bronze sculpture, this pendant is a small work of art, and either gold-plated, covered in white bronze, or black ruthenium to add another layer of elegance to this exquisite object.
