VITAE 14K Ring
Life is cyclical in nature, then it suddenly ends. I wanted to design a ring rooted in that concept. Every time I run my finger past its hard edge, I am reminded of how short life is, further propelling me to live it to the fullest.
The Vitae ring is handcrafted of solid 14K yellow, rose, or white gold. A single layer of the precious material is curved and overlapped to create a band that is accented with uncomplicated detailing. The exterior of the brand is finished with a radiantly durable satin texture, while the interior of the band has a smooth polished finish to ensure comfort during wear.
