Your access to the window to the soul
And why our jewelry is created not from the iris, but from the retina.
The iris is a small wonder: colored rings, delicate fibers, rays and whorls—like a landscape in miniature. No two eyes are the same. That’s why iris photography is so compelling: it reveals this uniqueness—bold, almost cosmic. No surprise we call the eye the window to the soul.
Yet the deeper story lies behind it: the retina. Its vessel pattern is a hidden signature, a one-of-one code that doesn’t shout— it whispers. That’s where our work begins.
Why we work with the retina—not the iris
-
Discreet & personal: Iris imagery is visible to everyone. The retina signature remains private, meaningful to those who know.
-
One-of-one, guaranteed: Retinal vessel patterns are irreproducible—your ring is truly unique.
-
Aesthetics with depth: Streams, branches, resting points—an organic composition, engraved (Verso) or in relief (Cameo).
-
Emotional closeness: A ring that carries intimacy without being literal. There Is Only One.
