Geppetto Necklace


 The number 1729 on the necklace is known as the Ramanujan number. The famous mathematician Hardy, who came to the hospital to visit his friend and student Ramanujan, told him that the license plate of the taxi he took to get there was 1729. Ramanujan thought about it for a moment and then said that 1729 is the smallest natural number whose sum of two cubes can be written in two different ways.


 This necklace is the one worn by the character Gepetto in Altar Kaplan's novel "Camus Dance".
