In Season · Camellia Zirconia Ring

The Story Behind

"She went through a bad stretch. About a year and a half. During that time she couldn't get anything right — mistakes at work, problems in her relationship, and her body kept picking up small illnesses. She thought she'd just become like this. Then one day after work, she walked past a street flower stall and saw a camellia plant. Ordinary camellia, but it was blooming well that day. She stopped and looked. The old man at the stall said: ""You like camellias? This flower blooms in winter. Other flowers can't take the cold. This one doesn't mind."" She bought it. Put it by the window. About two months after that, the bad stretch slowly ended. She didn't know if the camellia had anything to do with it. But she remembered that day — stopping, buying a flower that blooms in winter. It was the first time in that whole period that she'd thought: good things still come." The camellia blooms in winter — beautiful precisely because it's out of season. This ring is for those who, even in the hardest times, kept some possibility of flowering.
