Deka Ray's Cuboctahedrons

It's been a minute since my last post...wrapping up an amazing time at Unique LA and LOOMLAB also just moved its [world] headquarters to South Pasadena. World may be a bit presumptuous as it is our only headquarters right now, but it has a good ring to it.

Jumping back into highlighting nerdy cool with Deka Ray Jewelry, the brainchild of Eugenie Huang. My favorite piece of Deka Ray's is the Deathstar Debris Cluster - or a "8 cuboctahedron cluster in oxidized bronze necklace on an oxidized silver chain."
But the multiply studs are pretty super too....

In geometry, a cuboctahedron is a polyhedron with eight triangular faces and six square faces. A cuboctahedron has 12 identical vertices, with two triangles and two squares meeting at each, and 24 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a square. (thank you wikipedia)

I also just learned that a cuboctahedron is an Arcimedian solid (I love this especially since my cat's name is Archimedes!)
