Two natural black onyx stones to an ear, a round above an oval, each cut by hand to fit its own bezel. Nothing in the piece is machine cut.The setting is built to show the stone and hide the work. The rim is polished smooth. The wall of every setting is hand carved with the pattern that runs through everything we make. From the front, the stone. From the side, the carving.Onyx has stood for strength and steadiness for as long as people have worn it. A reminder, worn daily.Enough presence to be the piece, quiet enough to wear every day. Dressed up or down, they go either way.The stones vary a little from one to the next. The last of the three Kin pieces; the setting came from the bracelet and the necklace.A NOTE FROM RYANI wanted a piece with stone in it that I could put on every day and forget about, and that still held up when someone looked closely. Not flashy. Enough detail to earn a second look.The structure is Thai, the pattern is ours. I live in Thailand most of the year, and this country has given me a lot. This set is my attempt to put the two worlds I live in into one piece. It took nearly ten months to get right.I've had mine on every day since the first sample came back.Ryan
