Written Down · Double Ring Zirconia Necklace

The Story Behind

She had a habit. Writing the things she couldn't say out loud in a notebook. Not a diary. Just whatever notebook was nearby. She'd write in a rush, close it, move on. She'd written things to exes, to a friend who hurt her, to her dad, to her eighteen-year-old self. Never sent to anyone. Never shown to anyone. Once her mum picked one up by accident. Put it down quickly. "I didn't read it." "It's okay. You can." Her mum picked it back up. Turned two pages. Put it down. "You carry a lot inside." "It gets lighter once it's written down." Her mum didn't say anything else. Then went to the kitchen and made her a bowl of noodles. Some words aren't written to be read. They're written to be set down. Two rings interlocked — like the clasp of a notebook, or two separate accounts that somehow belong together. This necklace is for those who write things down for themselves.
