Sierpinski Star of David Ornament, Sterling Silver

This sterling-silver ornament represents mathematical perfection and the divine, the convergence of reason and reverence. It bears a strong resemblance to the Jewish Star of David, but you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy fractals and triangles. It is an excellent gift for Jewish relations, Jew-ish friends, but also secular humanists, scientists, atheists, and mathematicians, for a secular holiday gift. It can even go on a Christmas Tree.

The design started with a Sierpinski Triangle in my cellular automata experiments. I thought to myself, "How could I turn these triangles, which theoretically has an area of zero and never overlap, into a physical object?"

Cast in sterling silver. Also available in gold-plated brass.

The Sierpiński triangle (sometimes spelled "Sierpinski") is a classic fractal—an endlessly repeating geometric pattern that’s self-similar at every scale. It starts with an equilateral triangle, and through a recursive process, smaller triangles are removed from the center of each larger triangle, creating a lace-like structure that’s both simple and infinitely complex.

◄ CARE FOR STERLING SILVER ►
Sterling silver tarnishes. It is simply what silver does when it meets air, and an ornament will darken between seasons.

Rub it with a silver polishing cloth before you hang it and it comes back in a minute. The rest of the year, keep it in its pouch or in a small zip bag with the air pressed out.
