Jewellery that moves with you and for vou.

- WANSI SHAM

There’s a ring that occupies pride of place in my jewellery box. It’s seemingly regular, never drawing a curious rummager’s eye but those in the know will certainly pick it up for closer inspection, and the discerning examiner would be able to see why it is special. My mother gave this ring to me as I started my first job and it was often the object I repeatedly touched—during the interview, before a big presentation—my fingers grazing the golden edges, almost like I was drawing strength from them. It calmed my nerves, the ring’s presence soothing me in moments when I wasn’t quite sure of myself. It is perhaps why I truly understand the beauty, nay, the necessity of kinetic jewellery. Kinetic jewellery has moving parts that allow the piece to transcend its utility as adornment, making it a conversation starter and even a tool for temporary solace.
