| Mothers around the world are referred to by
their children with word sounds which are
strikingly similar, despite speaking in totally
unrelated languages.
The word for mother: mom, mum, mama, ma,
however familiarly or formally it is said, is a
universal linguistic thread throughout the world.
This is widely believed to be due to the fact the
vowel and consonant sounds used in the many
variants of this word, are among the very first to
be mastered by children whatever their origin.
This bracelet is an homage to motherhood, and
seeks to draw these threads together into a
beautiful piece of jewelry. Engraved around this
bracelet within and without are the words for
mother, mom or ma in thirty two different
languages and scripts.
The bracelet itself displays some unusual
properties. The geometric form, it
represents the seeming paradox of a plane
without end, or one of infinite length.
As such it became accepted as the symbol for
infinity, and is appropriate and symbolic form
for this universal sound of love and affection
