The earliest abacus dates to 2700 BC when it was used in Mesopotamia to calculate the Sumarian sexagesimal number system. Over the millennia, it was used in various forms by the Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Chinese, Romans, and many other civilizations. It is still used today as a teaching aid in many preschools and elementary schools.

This abacus pendant (with moving steel beads!) represents both a love of mathematics and an important piece of math history. It will delight math teachers and students alike! The steel abacus measures 1 1/4 inches long and 3/4 inches wide, and has working steel beads in your choice of silver or gold. It comes with a 24 inch steel link chain.

Perfect for:

  • Mathematicians or math aficionados
  • Math students
  • Math teachers
  • Abacus enthusiasts everywhere

Abacus Necklace

I love this pendant. It is unique, fun, versatile and great for a quick fidget. Sometimes I’ll double it up with another shorter necklace. I learned of Boutique Academia through a friend who was gifted the Abacus necklace by her grandma. We both love it!

I absolutely love this necklace. I love the delicacy of it, delicate + nerdy. I love fidgeting with the beads, they make a lovely sound to my ear. My new favorite stim necklace for sure

Super pleased with this necklace for my ‘maths geek!’ S. He’s going to love it. Was concerned that it was coming from the US as usually just buy within the UK. But this seemed much nicer than ones I’d seen similar in the UK so I took the chance. So pleased that I did. It’s really lovely. Great quality. I’d wear it & I’m definitely not a maths geek! Didn’t take too long to arrive either.

The gift recipient loved the necklace. The purchase arrived quickly. It's very cool that beads on the abacus work!

I’ve now purchased three necklaces from Boutique Academia. I love them! I’ve gotten many compliments. They’re unlike anything I’ve seen before. I got this one for my mom. She loves it.

I’m absolutely delighted with this abacus necklace for my maths obsessed son! He’s going to love it! I was nervous about ordering from the UK to the US but I didn’t need to be at all. I was kept informed throughout from ordering to delivery & it really didn’t take that long at all. It’s beautiful & he’s going to love it. Thank you so much!

The pendant portion of the necklace was well made for the price, the beads operate smoothly and it all shines brightly. The welds on the sides for the posts that the beads slide on might have been finished nicer, but again for the price I'm happy with the quality and it's smooth and neatly done... just visible. The chain was fine, but I knew when I ordered this that I would replace the steel chain with something in sterling silver, and the opening on the pendant is such that it will accommodate just about any chain clasp.

This was just what I was looking for! I had an idea of an abacus necklace and this was everything I wanted! It's super cute, and the beads are movable just like a full-size abacus. A totally unique piece of jewelry! :)

Ordered as a gift for the treasurer of our nonprofit. It exceeded expectations— a lovely gift and she was delighted. Seller was responsive and prompt in shipping.

Excellent fidget, and it looks great. Not enough space for the two beads section, so the abacus is not functional. Corners are a little sharp.

This was for my niece who is very smart girl. She loves anything math and so both items the earrings and the abacus necklace. She really really love them both. I just wish I lived in the same town that she did so I could be there with her I’m very very happy.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my daughter. It's difficult to order items online and I depend on the reviews of others to help sway my decisions and did so with this item. I was really undecided but it had good reviews so I thought I'd take a chance. I ordered this in silver and gold and can honestly say when it arrived and I opened the packaged I actually smiled and said "aww". I loved it and very, very few times have I ever bought something online that exceeded my expectations. This necklace certainly did. It's unique and beautifully detailed.

it's possible, on the tiny abacus, to represent up to 9 digits, though they won't stay in place through the day, as the beads are fully functional. while it's not the easiest abacus to use, it's definitely the smallest i've seen that works, and is also quite pretty. it arrived in the mail only a couple days after i ordered it, right on time for π day (pi day, 3/14/16), preceded by a friendly email exchange with the owner, who seems quite reasonable.

Love the Abacus Necklace - bought one for me and one for a friend. Brings back memories of abacus lessons years ago. First time buyer, but oh so happy with this purchase. Very well crafted and the style of chain adds a bit of whimsy.

This necklace is amazing--it's beautiful, but more importantly, it's cool because the abacus beads move! what a fantastic present for a woman math major!
