Extra Tip for This Set

This solid 18K gold buckle set was a custom order for Chris. It is one of Neil's many explorations into the Golden Section.

"The open-ended curve of the spiral gives a sensation of continuous motion--of life, in fact. In The Curves of Life, Sir Theodore A. Cook (1867-1928), English author and editor, finds that the spiral or helix may lie at the core of life's first principle--that of growth. The spiral is fundamental to the structure of plants, shells, and the human body; to the periodicity of atomic elements and to an animal's horns; to microscopic DNA (the double helix) and to the Andromeda nebula."

Side View of Belt Buckle Set

"The spiral is a key to understanding organic nature, and perhaps to the living creations of the human mind. The spiral's fundamental mathematical expression is Ø, or ... (mathematical formula omitted) (=1.618), the Ratio of Pheidias, or Golden Section, or the Divine Proportion, as it has been variously termed through history. It occurs repeatedly in the productions of men: Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Gothic architects knew and admired its properties; Renaissance artists incorporated it into their theories. Leonardo designed spiral staircases and studied spirals in waves and hair; consciously or unconsciously Botticelli, Hals, and Turner composed proportional to Ø."
(From the back of the book The Curves of Life by Theodore Andrea Cook, Dover Publications)
