Yes, this is what it looks like - π taken to eight decimal points. I made this "Piece of Pi" pendant and tucked it away in my Etsy store last year completely on a whim, thinking it would just sit around looking beautifully mathematical. So, of course, it sold almost immediately. I find it quite thrilling that there are actually other geeky, jewelry-loving people out there in the world. I've been thinking I might make a more complex version this year...
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Here are your new bead and jewelry links for the week:

If you get those pi pendants back up on Etsy, tell me - I have some deeply geeky friends who would adore them.
that is so cool! yes, it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round (said another geeky jewelry person)...
It took me a minute when looking at it, before I read the description, to figure out what it was. When it clicked, a big smile came on my face. I agree, if this comes back up, I want one!
