The jewelry collection is highlighted by a double barrel, ruby adorned revolver pendant with a rotating barrel and an 18K gold-plated dice. Mathmatiks stores are available at Zakka Corp, Brooklyn, and Reed Space, NYC.
Implications - Popular images within society and culture are frequently overused throughout product designs and packaging.
