Brief History of the Infinity Symbol

The word infinity has been used in mathematics to describe sets or things that are uncountable. Similarly, in philosophy, infinity is a term used to describe the endless, immeasurable, and inconceivable. In religion, infinity is closely linked to the concept of God, the prime mover with no beginning or end.

The infinity symbol (∞) is also referred to as lemniscate in algebraic geometry, as first described by the 17^th century Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli. The infinity symbol shows a sideways figure of eight, or a curved circle with a point of intersection in the middle.

In the early 1700s, the infinity symbol started to acquire recognition from people as it appeared on the tarot card the Juggler. From then on, people have been fascinated with the idea of the infinity symbol as it is associated with the terms eternity and forever.

In the modern era, the infinity symbol is present not only in pop culture and literature, but also fashion, more specifically gold jewelry such as infinity rings, infinity necklaces, and infinity bracelets.

One of our best-selling diamond infinity rings is this Solid White Gold Black Diamond Infinity Ring. I admire the contrast of the black and the clear diamonds, complementing and balancing each other like Yin and Yang. The black diamond center stone, which weighs 1 ct, was actually the first thing that grabbed my attention. It is breathtaking juxtaposed to the small clear diamonds around it. I also love how the infinity symbols glide on both sides of the ring band, showing a symmetrical design. This ring is really a work of art. For more diamond infinity rings, please click here.
