After over a year of keeping this project a secret I'm elated to share this piece of jewelry I've been dreaming up for so long. This coin ring is inspired by my life at my cottage. Before I'd ever even begun looking for property I'd been going through one of the toughest patches in my life- often turning to my journal to express sadness over a loss of self I'd been feeling. Months after finding my little haven in the woods I was leafing through the pages when I found an entry that made tears come to my eyes: "I know I could love me more- should love her more. I would know her mind, and the pains and the sorrows, and I would not have to hold her wrists to keep her near me, or have to ask for love in return.
