This ring is dedicated to healing as a constant and often unrecognized act that unfolds throughout a lifetime. Healing is present in growth, in repair, and in transformation, operating quietly and continuously without demand. It is both personal and relational, sustaining familial, professional, and romantic bonds by allowing them to endure change and strain. This ring honors the individuals who hold space for that work, whose presence helps connections remain intact, evolving and resilient through care and attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe front of the ring is carved with a simple addition sign or cross, a widely recognized symbol of the healer. The ring is made from recovered White Onyx, a translucent stone that allows light to pass through its body. This transparency reflects the nature of healing itself, where flaws and vulnerability are visible and honesty is required. White Onyx is a softer stone, delicate by nature, and will change subtly over time with wear. As it evolves, it will bear the marks of the wearer’s journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Too Shall Break is a series of thirteen cycles of thirteen stone rings.

This ring is devoted to self awareness and the ongoing process of reflection required to truly know oneself. It acknowledges that identity is not fixed, but continuously shaped by experience, questioning, and growth. The ring exists as a companion to that process, honoring the discipline of reflection and the commitment to remain open to change as understanding deepens over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ring is made of Belgium Black Marble, a rarer variety of marble, and presents as a deep jet black. It features two distinct finishes, with a matte polish on the band and a polished shine on the front. The design is intentionally simple, understated in form while remaining visually assertive.

This ring marks a moment of presence rather than pursuit, honoring the recognition that something meaningful has already been achieved. It is not a symbol of aspiration, but of arrival, acknowledging continuing success and the ability to inhabit the moment rather than rush past it. The ring serves as a reminder to enjoy what has been earned, to remain present with one’s work and its outcomes, and to recognize that arrival itself is worthy of pause and appreciation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ring is made of Black Portoro marble, a stone known for its intricate veining in white and gold. Its design is intentionally simple, allowing the complexity of the stone’s marbling to remain the focal point. The ring is carved slightly larger and more durable than others in the series, emphasizing stability while maintaining a restrained and cohesive form. Black Portoro marble is recognized for both its beauty and the difficulty of working with it, resulting in a piece whose presence reflects the patience and effort required to bring it into being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Too Shall Break is a series of thirteen cycles of thirteen stone rings.

This ring is devoted to the act of perception itself—the understanding that art does not live solely within an object, but within the idea of it, and within the mind of the one who encounters it. It honors the collector not as a passive recipient, but as an active participant: one whose attention, discernment, and intent help define meaning, shape movements, and bind artistic work to broader cultural currents. The ring exists as a manifestation of that responsibility and power, carrying with it knowledge, empathy, history, and potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike any ring before it in the series, this piece is designed to envelop the finger, nearly merging with the hand itself. Translucent and almost clawlike in form, it balances contrasts—smooth yet sharp, elegant yet bold, delicate yet strong. Its presence feels both intentional and instinctive, as though it were a natural extension of the wearer’s hand. The ring’s form reinforces its purpose: a vessel for thought, focus, and sustained contemplation on art and meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Too Shall Break is a series of thirteen cycles of thirteen stone rings.

This ring is rooted in the place where land, water, and sky converge, a sacred threshold that has witnessed the origins of life, movement, and breath. It reflects the moment of arrival and departure, of learning to stand, of belonging and transition. Where sand, sea, and sky dissolve into one another, identity softens, boundaries fade, and home emerges not as a fixed point but as a living convergence. This ring holds that truth of unity, of one land, one voice, and one shared origin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ring is conceived as a vessel for primal elements, balancing contrast and continuity within its form. Referred to as the paw, it gathers experience, presence, and potential into a single object, past, present, and future bound together in an ongoing cycle. The ring embodies comfort and growth, seeking and becoming, life and spirit held in equilibrium. Its form invites what is given to it, carrying joy, sadness, and the unseen weight of lived moments, asking only that it remain in motion through time and care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Too Shall Break is a series of thirteen cycles of thirteen stone rings.

This ring is rooted in the pursuit of internal logic—an understanding that when a work is meant to carry meaning or evoke feeling, it must be held together by a structure that is true, intentional, and earned. It reflects the idea that balance is not decorative or effortless, but the result of sustained attention, belief, and discipline. The ring stands as an expression of the ongoing human effort to remain steady amid uncertainty, to move forward despite instability, and to accept imperfection as an essential part of becoming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ring is carved from Portoro Black Marble, a stone known for its difficulty and fragility, particularly at small scale. During its making, numerous stones failed—chipping, fracturing, or shattering under pressure—before one proved strong and balanced enough to endure the sculpting process. The creation of the ring required patience, restraint, and trust between artist and material, with each step taken without certainty that the stone would agree to continue. The final form is the result of that process: an object shaped through persistence, tempered frustration, and careful, deliberate action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Too Shall Break is a series of thirteen cycles of thirteen stone rings.
