Make your wish a part of a small ring
Originally, signet rings were used to leave a mark in clay or wax to identify their owner. At the same time, their small surface was sometimes engraved not only with a name or crest, but also with prayers for protection.
Ancient Egyptian signet rings survive bearing the image of the god Bes, who was believed to protect women in childbirth and young children from misfortune. Wishing for a child's safety and entrusting that hope to a small ring seems to be something that has remained unchanged since distant times.
The signet ring that indicates who it belongs to, and the baby ring that commemorates a single birth. Though what they preserve may differ, both give form to and hold fast to something precious that cannot be seen. In that sense, they are quietly connected.
On top of the ring sits “puff,” a small, air-filled-looking swell. A softly raised form made from the metal itself, with a quiet yet distinctive presence.
It was not originally a design created for baby rings. But when we looked at it again, we realized that its soft, rounded form naturally brings to mind a baby's cheeks, tiny hands, and warm presence. The gentle curve also seems to softly cradle those tender first moments of life. It came to feel like a shape perfectly suited to a baby ring.
From meaning to form came signet, and within form, puff found new meaning. Two new baby rings born from different paths. Each is filled with the memory of the day of birth and wishes for the growth to come.
