Romance That Floats On Your Fingers. Miniature Worlds in Resin Rings by Shannnam.

above: a preview of the The Cupid & Pysche Valentine's Day Rings in the making

Not everyone can afford to spend two month's salary on a diamond ring for their significant other on Valentine's Day (sorry DeBeers). So here's a much less expensive alternative that may be a novelty but it will still make your loved one's heart go a-flutter.



Hong Kong-based handmade accessories designers Shannnam (chan io yau riyo and kwong ho sun howard) have encapsulated miniature worlds in resin to wear upon your finger. For this coming Valentine's Day, they've released a new limited edition collection, Cupid & Psyche, which consists of eight limited edition rings in which sweet couples, young and old, bask in the comfort of one another's company.

“Cupid and Psyche” Valentine’s Day Limited Edition Rings

You can customize the tiny narratives by choosing from their miniature figures, making them even more personal.
