When I let go
of what I am,
I become
what I might be.

My Violette ring is an ode to daydreams...
One of the first rings I ever bought myself contained an amethyst. It was sterling silver and absolutely ordinary, but I loved it and wore it everywhere.
I was wearing it as a wide-eyed 16 year old when I spent the day at a master jeweller's studio, desperate to one day become a jeweller myself. I absorbed every glorious detail as I watched them work, marvelling at how they could create such beauty from metal and stone.
One of the jeweller's pointed out my ring and asked whether I had made it myself.
I laughed and said, "No! I couldn't possibly make anything like this!"
He smiled, and said, 'It's easy, of course you can make it!' and carried on with his work.
I wondered, and I waited; and though I put my dream to sleep for many years, it was always there in my heart, patiently waiting until I was ready.
The language of flowers states that violets are for day-dreaming. I couldn't think of a more fitting name for this ring.
A ring upon which to ponder and dream...
One day ...
Maybe ...
Could I? ...
