The story behind…

When my dearest friend …

…whom I’ve known for over 18 years now got married, I sadly couldn’t be with her as I was travelling around the world at that  time.  So once I came back, I took the chance to manufacture a very special present for her: An infinity ring with 18 stones in it as this is a number very close to her heart – including her birthday, her engagement day as well as wedding date which all happened to take place on the 18th.

For each of the 18 stones I wrote down a wish for her marriage…

…every stone representing a wish as a daily reminder, inspiration & talisman:

1. Lucky stars above you,
2. Sunshine on your way,
3. Many friends to love you,
4. Joy in work and play –
5. Laughter to outweigh each care,
6. In your heart a song –
7. And gladness waiting everywhere [all your whole life long].
8. Trust in all your actions,
9. Faith in everything you do,
10. A warm & caring home for each other,
11. Shared dreams to chase after.
12. Understanding each other [or at least always trying to],
13. Loving memories [you can look back on].
14. Affection & Passion ♥
15. Shared independence,
16. Health to grow old together.
17. Tolerance.
18. Friendship [until death & beyond].

I am sharing this with you…

…because I feel we do need to hear these stories sometimes. These honest stories with happy endings.

…because I wanted to give you an insight of where I draw my inspiration from. Sometimes it is random people I see on the street and sometimes it is the ones closest to me.

…because I hope this inspires you, too. Maybe you have been feeling down lately and it lifted you up a bit or maybe it makes you (re-) connect with the ones you love.
.

So this is not just ANY ring – it‘s the one with exactly 18 stones in it, each one standing for one wish.

It‘s not just ANY number, it‘s the one that is close to her heart as many memorable things are connected to this particular number.

It‘s not just ANY occasion – it is celebrating the day she married the love of her life and every day to come from this day forward.

It‘s not just ANY engraving. It is that of her family‘s clan – remembering her that she‘ll always be a part of it.

It‘s not just ANY ring. It is THAT EXACT RING that embodies all of this and that she can carry forever now.

It‘s a memory, a feeling – something very close to her heart. It is something made for her to keep and be reminded of forever.

Love, Julia

HOPE – PEACE OF SCHMUCK x “Half A Man”

We are happy and feel honoured that we can support someone very special with the design of our HOPE ring:

30 years ago, Flo Sitzmann lost his legs through an accident and became “Half A Man”. Soon after, he discovered the handbike and quickly fought his way to the top of the world in this discipline (3x German Champion, Vice World Champion, participation in Paralympics, etc.). Since then, he has also been on the road for a good cause, collecting donations, combining this with his sporting ambitions, such as the 540 km long “Styrkeprøven” (Trondheim-Oslo) race in Norway, where his world record at the time on the route is unbroken ever since.

For 30 years, Flo Sitzmann has seen himself as a source of inspiration, a role model and a driving force when it comes to »life«.

Maybe as a “role model” or even an inspiration for people in seemingly hopeless situations who are struggling with their fate. Because “strokes of fate” were never coincidences with no way out for him, but rather a starting signal for discovering new paths – the “exemplification and encouragement” maybe even “his mission” in this world.

So it only makes sense to take the 30th anniversary of “Half A Man” as an occasion for a new tour:
This time: 900 km across Germany from north to south – past many familiar places with personal memories.

The “Miles for Hope” route runs from 18.08. until August 31, 2022 from Hamburg to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Our HOPE ring shall accompany Flo and give him strength along the way.

The 30th anniversary of Flo Sitzmann’s accident and thus the “birth of half a man” will be celebrated on August 31, 2022 on the Zugspitze.

The tour is once again dedicated to a good cause: This time, the focus is on the “Hope for Children” foundation of the Volksbank Darmstadt-Südhessen eG and Sitzmann’s desire to do something good in his region in the long term is now paying off.

»SYMBOLS & SIGNS« – pt. II

From now on you can find the second part of our new collection in our shop – i. a. with new, vintage-inspired rings to fall in love with (and to propose…)! ♥

Some things (or people) are just meant to be…

Vintage inspired gold ring with dainty details set with six precious freshwater pearls & one center gemstone of choice… Our IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THE STARS ring is available in two different versions: delicate & narrrow or slightly broader.

[IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THE STARS] = 7 words, one for every stone

 

Ring IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THE STARS – narrow

 

 

Ring IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THE STARS – broad

 

“The symbolism related to the snake is ambiguous. She is guardian and destroyer, light and dark, good and evil, all at once. Her poison can be fatal. […– and since] snakes cast their skin regularly, they are linked to resurrection and healing. […] In many cultures, snakes are believed to be skilful mediators between heaven, earth and the underworld.”*

Single snake statement ring in 18k gold-plated brass set with either two black Spinell, two white Topaz or without gemstones. Combine two of these to complete the YIN & YANG sign or wear by itself. Also available as double ring:

 

Ring YIN/YANG – single
Ring YIN & YANG – double
