Five Elements: five rings, one unbroken cycle
A ring is a circle. Tương sinh, the generating cycle of the five elements, is a loop with no end. The collection takes its name from that match.
Five principles
- The native shape of each element. Metal is round, Water flows in waves, Wood is an upright rectangle, Fire a triangle, Earth a square.
- Colour follows the generating cycle. Metal and stone colours belong to the element itself or to the element that feeds it.
- Solid metal, never plated. 950 platinum and 18K yellow, rose and green gold; the colour lives in the alloy.
- Hard stones in closed bezels, no prongs. Centre stones rate 7.5 or above on the Mohs scale.
- Low profile, comfort fit, a personal mark. No taller than 6.5 mm, a rounded inner band, the element's seal script and a serial number engraved inside.
The five rings
- Metal · Viên Mãn. 950 platinum, round brilliant diamond. Whole, with no beginning and no end.
- Water · Lưu Thủy. 950 platinum, pear-cut blue sapphire. Water wears down stone, soft yet enduring.
- Wood · Tùng Bách. 18K green gold, emerald-cut emerald. Pine and cypress, green through every season.
- Fire · Đan Tâm. 18K rose gold, triangle-cut ruby. A loyal heart, a flame that never dies.
- Earth · Bàn Thạch. 18K yellow gold, square-cut yellow sapphire. Steady as bedrock, an heirloom to pass down.
How to wear them
Wear the ring of your own element, or stack two neighbours from the cycle. All five side by side complete the circle, a fitting family heirloom.
