This Coxeter Bead is a beaded bead, woven from pink and silver glass
seed beads. This ornate cluster is composed of over 400 beads, each one
precisely woven into place. This beaded bead is very round and hollow
and has a bit of a satisfying squish to it without being droopy. The
shape is like a Buckyball virus.
Coxeter Beads are named after the great mathematician Harold Scott MacDonald Coxeter in honor of his extensive work on symmetry, especially four dimensional polytopes, on which this piece is based. It is woven like cubic right angle weave but with tetrahedrons and prisms instead of cubes. It has a fascinating internal structure that you can see when you look at it closely.
Beaded bead is 26 mm (1 inch) in diameter, suitable for a focal bead on a necklace. The largest hole is 2.5 mm wide, wide enough to accommodate a thin cord or chain.
If you would like to learn how to make your own Coxeter Beads, I have a tutorial for a couple variations. Thanks for looking.
