May The Force Be With You Math Pun Earrings
I love a puns and math puns are some of my favorites also I'm a gigantic nerd. So naturally I had to combine one of my favorite fandoms with math.
Now I did okay in math during High School, but was not so good as to be a math Olympiad or anything even close to that. When these earrings debuted some of my first customers to notices them where a couple that worked for NASA (the show was in Dearfield Beach, FL). The gentleman was amazed that I had not used the abbreviation for the formula, but the whole thing and it right. He was not trying to be condescending at all it's just unexpected that a Jeweler would get a math equation right and not use the more commonly known and used abbreviation. We chatted for some time and I must admit to you that I was very please with myself for getting it right and also the reason I did not use the abbreviation was I had forgotten it. It's amazing what will stick in your head. The funny thing is this formula stayed in my head for over 25 years, but as soon as I turned it into a pair of earrings my brain said "well we don't need to remember that anymore since you have a reference sheet to check". Now if you asked me what it was I would draw a blank unless I was actively looking at the formula.
