Crystal Canary says:Beautiful coins–love the markings on the Fossil Jasper. They are definitely the star attraction to this necklace. Nicely done!

K Ralston says:The fossil jasper are such pretty stones. I’m curious about the 120 ways to wear this.

Beady Little Eyes says:Thank you all so much.
KR – I was thinking this was a factorial 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120. But I believe I am wrong. Factorials work by rearranging the pieces. So if you wanted to find out how to arrange 4 people in a row it would be 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24.
I think these can only be arranged 6 ways. But I believe if the necklace is reversed so the last coin becomes the first coin there are 12 ways to arrange it. Sorry for the mistake and the long explanation. I had to work it out on paper.

Beady Little Eyes says:Wow – I was wrong again. I used to be good at math. I figure there are 16 ways to wear the necklace by flipping coins. So if the necklace is reversed there becomes 32 ways. Please check my figures:

Melody F says:I understand that you mean that each of the fossil jasper coin shaped beads can be worn on either side. I’m surprised you don’t describe some of your woven bead necklaces as wearable as hat bands. And belts.

K Ralston says:Huh. I am more of a philosopher than mathematician, and there’s not much call for that in the world, LOL. But I sort of understand what you are saying – sort of. I think you are more than just a little bit good at math, which explains how you work out your intricate beaded designs.

Beady Little Eyes says:Thanks KR and Melody. Yes Melody – This would make a nice hat band. Or a belt. Nice thought.
KR – It’s been a long tome since I studied math. My brain is a little rusty.
