Geometry in the mould: proportion and symbol

On Giza proportions, the flower of life and the shapes we return to.

The Giza pyramid

Our pyramids follow the proportions of the Great Pyramid: a height of about 0.64 times the base, with faces rising at around 51.8 degrees. It is simply a shape that looks right, and has done for four and a half thousand years.

Symbols

The flower of life, the seed of life, Metatron's cube: patterns of overlapping circles found in art across many cultures. Cut in copper and floated just beneath the surface, they give a piece a quiet focal point.

Designing your own

In the Piece Builder you can choose a symbol inlay and see it sketched into your piece. We'll refine the details together before anything is poured.
