{"product_id":"trace-ring-size-n-seven-sapphire-edition-of-one","title":"Trace Ring — Size N (Seven Sapphire, Edition of One)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for a ring that doesn't feel predictable — something with texture, weight, and a sense of its own story — this is it. The Trace Ring is made for lives that don't follow a straight line. It's not polished into perfection. It's formed through movement, pressure, and release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eForm\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTiny bubbles have risen through the surface and broken open, leaving a field of organic craters across the band. Each one a trace of pressure, movement, and release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a step further into texture — a more refined expression of the work, while still holding onto the forms and surfaces that define my style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven oval sapphires sit within that landscape, cast directly into the band. Each stone held in place as the metal set around it — not placed on top, but part of the structure itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece marks the beginning of a new series, where texture, formation, and cast-in-place stones come together in one-off forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Ring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost rings are designed to look flawless. Smooth. Controlled. Expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one isn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you've been searching and everything feels too polished or too traditional, this is the shift. The Trace Ring gives you something you won't see on anyone else's hand — distinct, grounded, and quietly expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're choosing it as an alternative engagement ring, marking a shift in your life, or simply because nothing else has felt quite right — this is the kind of piece you grow into, not out of.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow It Feels to Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 9mm band gives it presence — you notice it on your hand — but the organic surface softens the weight. Light catches on the polished edges of each crater, while the satin recesses hold shadow, giving the ring depth and movement as you wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt doesn't sit flat. It lives with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 8.1g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand width: 9mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Polished high points with satin recesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStones: 7 oval sapphires (multi-colour)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting: Cast in place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing size: N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition: One of a kind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to be worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSapphires are one of the hardest gemstones, and in this piece they are cast directly into the silver, so they sit protected within the band rather than raised above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe textured surface will naturally evolve over time. The polished edges may soften slightly with wear, while the recessed areas hold their depth — adding to the character of the ring rather than taking away from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor everyday care:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove when doing heavy work or lifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid knocks against hard surfaces (like concrete or steel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean occasionally with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush to reach into the craters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo special treatment needed.
