Letter S in Natural Gemstones, Personalised Initial

Of all the letters, the S is the most exacting. It has no straight line anywhere, and a curve made of separate stones will read as a row of dots unless every one is turned slightly against the last. The stones grow larger through the belly of the curve and taper at both ends, the way a written S thickens under the pen and lifts at the terminal, which is what makes the eye read a stroke rather than a sequence. Set onto cream suede in the same amethyst, citrine, peridot and blue topaz as our sacred pieces, framed in solid wood, standing on its own engraved base. Given as a personalised birthday gift, at a namkaran or naming ceremony, for a new baby, or as a keepsake for a child. A letter is addressed to one person, which is why it does not read as something chosen in a hurry or bought in bulk. This is a ready piece, chosen by its letter. There is no box to type into. A full name, a date of birth, or two letters joined into one monogram is drawn to scale first and made as a commission. This is an object for a room, not a stone to be worn. Made in small numbers in New Delhi, certified, insured and gift boxed.
