I remember
one summer when we were heading to the south of France for holidays. My dad had
decided to make a break and visit an old fortified medieval castle. The tower,
the drawbridge, the big stone blocks had really struck me. I was maybe 8 or 9
years old. I think this attraction I have towards the medieval period must have
taken roots at this very moment.

I like to
watch sculptures and admire the stone work. I like to see the detailed and
refined illuminations as if the paper was embroidered with colors and golden
details. It was a time when there were few tools and where you had to use your
intelligence to get the best of them, in order to carve in hard surfaces and
have such beautiful spirals.
This is for
all these reasons that I chose to work with medieval inspiration in my
creations. I hope to be able to add more items in our catalog with this style
in the long run. I am happily surprised to see that my personal taste is shared
by other persons who contact us in order to have the Sincere Commitment ring
personalized with their initials. This ring gathers two engraved illuminated
initials on the sterling silver band.

I also
realized that people who would choose this ring did not want to have a
traditional wedding ring. They did not want a diamond ring, or a ring without
any meaning. They wanted this ring to show their character, their passion (maybe
for the medieval spirit), the fact that they did not want to have a common
ring. They wanted a jewel that would talk about a personal emotion.
When you decide
to get married, it is so important to get a ring that will match with who you
are. Maybe one day, your children will ask you when they will be old enough why
you decided to get married with this special ring and not with a more
traditional one. You will be able to tell them the story behind the ring.
