Madame Ring

1.8cm diameter ring in 3mc gold plating. A ring like a fragment of soul, an intimate relic, rescued from time. Its irregular edge evokes the beauty of imperfect and authentic things. Its textured surface reveals the silent watchful eye, from which tears escape, fine and sincere, a vestige of what has been given without counting the cost. Barely legible, one can discern the word LOVE, almost erased, like a stifled whisper of a secret kept for too long. Around the stars twinkle, guardians of the secret, and two small engraved xxs, to speak of love in half-spoken words, of unspoken kisses, of whispered vows. A votive heart, embossed and set with an oval zircon, radiates half-light, like a love in the making, still learning itself. A talismanic jewel that speaks of vulnerability and acceptance. Love… and let yourself be loved… Because women know how to love. Intensely. Completely. But do they allow themselves to receive this love?
