Say Something
Say Something
Hollow Form Ring.
Two little people standing up for what they believe.
All throughout our lives, we are exposed to a phenomenal amount of negative information, whether it be international conflict, political issues or problems on a personal scale. This can – understandably – be overwhelming at times. A part of the programming in our brains results in negative bias. This means we tend to focus on and therefore remember the more upsetting, hurtful or humiliating moments over the ones that truly make our hearts sing.
Watching people come together as a massive community, made up of all kinds of people, from all walks of life, standing up for what they believe in, is a magical thing. This little piece was designed to celebrate that, and empower and encourage more of it.
26mm wide x 32mm tall, 53mm including the people. 35g. 17mm wide band. Ring size: R 1/2.
