  • When we talk about enabling empowerment, we mean empowerment for EVERYONE. That's why we make inclusivity a priority, from supporting marginalized groups like the LGBTQIA+ community to creating Braille versions of our rings. We even offer the largest ring size range of any fashion jewelry brand.

  • While our rings aren’t made exclusively for those with anxiety, depression, ADHD or autism, or those who struggle with body-focused repetitive behaviors like nail-biting, the pieces have been embraced by the neurodivergent community. Every day, we hear from customers about how our jewelry has helped them feel less anxious and more focused. We set out to design a beautiful piece of jewelry that also just happens to be a fidget—something that comes without the negative stigma that other more toylike fidgets sometimes have.

  • There’s no “right” time to start making a difference in the world. People often think they need to be older or more experienced but everyone, at any age, can make the world a better place.
