π (also known as pi) is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter. In other words, C (circumference)=2πR(radius). The Greek letter π, often spelled out pi in text, was adopted for the number from the Greek word for perimeter - circumference.
It is approximately equal to 3.141593 and thereby, the pi day is celebrated on March 3 (3/14) annually.
This simply genius ratio, enables every goldsmith to cut the right length of silver or gold strip and round it to a perfect matching ring, based just on the width of the target finger.
Visit our store, there is a wonderful collection of rings that celebrate the success of PI!
