There are <a href="http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/index.html?q=1%2C1%2C2%2C3">thousands of sequences</a> that start out 1,1,2,3... Show me a ring inspired by a golden spiral or actual phyllotaxis pattern. Now that would have a true mathematical relationship to the Fibonacci sequence rather than just doing it lip service.

The first two green beads are each on their own wire, then two green on one wire, then three silver on one. @gouldina #2 – look at the number of beads on each wire.

I have a long necklace that uses the pattern, with a different type of bead for each count. Fibonacci necklaces are way cooler.
