For Clair Ring, 2025

Created for my best friend, Clair. A piece layered with love, memory, and laughter. Pink stones, because they never had a ring of mine with pink stones. Slime-green stones, recalling the time we lived together and I spilled all my stainless-steel shot down the kitchen sink, and Clair tried to fish it out with slime. A small fish rests among the stones, a quiet nod to the ring they once loved but wanted to reclaim as their own. The real treasure, though, is Clair themself. This ring is a love letter to friendship, in all its messy, tender, and beautiful forms.
