**Rough.** Every centre stone is left as it came out of the ground.

**Natural, never heated.** Nothing is done to the centre stone to change its colour.

**One of one.** When a ring goes, it doesn't come back.

**Built around the stone.** Each setting grows to fit its stone, the way roots hold a rock.

Design

Everything left to see.

Every ring in Aranya starts with a stone nobody cut. Its shape decides the setting, the gold-tone follows its edges, and the branches of the band hold it the way roots hold a rock. Fifteen stones, so fifteen rings, and no pattern to repeat.

Colours of stone. Blue, green and dark: whatever colour the ground gave each stone. Shown in Blue Thicket.
The stone. Rough, natural and never heated. The centre stone is left as it came out of the ground, and the ring is built around it rather than the stone cut to fit.

The stone

Left as the
ground gave it.

Most stones are cut, polished, and often heated before they reach a ring, until they look like every other stone of their kind. These weren't. Each centre stone keeps the surface it came out of the ground with: the ridges, the pits, the uneven colour. So instead of cutting a stone to fit a setting, we built each setting to fit its stone. Some wrap a single mass, some bind two side by side, some gather a cluster, and some spread across the face like a crust. That is why there is one of each, and why none can be made again.

In numbers.

the stone.

A rough stone is all surface. Hold on any ring and a loupe opens over it, so you can follow the ridges and the colour the way you would with the ring in your hand.
