Little boats on the water. The tide always comes back.

The Tide is three marquise stones set across a waved gold band, sitting a little unevenly the way small boats sit on moving water, not in a row but scattered where the swell left them.

A ceremonial ring, made to order in gold vermeil over solid sterling silver, set with moissanite (lab diamond or white sapphire on request).
Historical Context

The tide. From the Old English tid, meaning time. Before it was a sea-word it was a time-word. Eventide. Whitsuntide. Yuletide. The hour you live in.

Sailors and saints both organised their lives by it. Newton wrote the equations. Mothers know it without equations. The Tide borrows this old word for what keeps returning whether you watch it or not.
Symbolic Meaning

The marquise points inward, toward the wearer, rather than out toward an observer. The orientation is the meaning.

The tide does not move for us. It moves on its own. To wear this ring pointed at yourself is to acknowledge what you keep returning to, on its own terms, again.
Wearers Intention

For those who have come back to themselves, again, and intend to keep doing it. For the ones whose recovery is not a one-time event but an ongoing practice.

For people who have learned that the most important work is the work of return.
Care Guide
