Palæstinensisk Vandmelonring

Wore this ring to a protest last weekend and got three compliments before we even started marching. The raised watermelon slice sits flat enough that it doesn't catch on my sleeve, which I was worried about.

The raised slice design has real depth to it, so the red, black, white, and green layers catch the light beautifully when I wear it. It's a small piece but everyone who sees it asks where I got it, and it feels meaningful to carry that history on my finger.

The colors inside the slice really pop against the polished metal—people always ask where I got it, and it starts a conversation every time. Even the little seeds are etched clearly, which shows how much detail went into this.
