“I had this ring made on a very special trip to Cambodia. It was a trip that my mum had planned for months and was really looking forward to, and she suddenly passed away before she was able to go. I went on the trip in her place, and we visited all the places she would have loved to see. Towards the end of the trip, I had this ring made to remind me of her and the extraordinary trip.”

“I wear it everyday, and it is so special to me. It reminds me of the mix of emotions I felt on that trip, initially I had found it hard to enjoy but ended up with the best memories, I just wish she could have been there too.”

“I have this ring stacked with two other gold rings – a Sarah & Sebastion 'Oyster Bed' ring with white diamonds, it’s very fine, so I have a plain gold band to hold it in place. I originally wore them this way as extra protection for my ruby ring when I first got it, I was so worried I might lose it. It’s like a double barrier in a way, but I love how they complement each other and how they sit together!”

“I chose rubies, as they symbolise protection. I felt like my mum was with me on the entire trip, and I feel safe when I wear this.”

“I rarely take it off, but when I do it nestles perfectly in my great grandmother’s trinket box beside my bed.”

“Being at home more has heightened my awareness of what is in my space, and increased my appreciation for the things I truly value. It is becoming more obvious what is important. With the extra time to relax I am placing focus on the smaller things that make me happy, and reading more books, using candles and oils everyday – instead of saving them for special occasions.”
