Robert Young Sculpture is always in the process of evolving–new designs, new stories, and new ideas. In keeping with this theme we’re very excited to announce a new collection of rings called “Evolve Love Rings.” This is a special collection with a lot of depth and significance to it. When was the last time you came across a ring that can tell a story 56,420 different ways?
The 56,420 custom ring choices, including wedding rings and engagement rings, give you the freedom to design jewellery that truly reflects your individual experience, taste, and mood. The Evolve Collection can be rearranged, added to and changed as your life experience shifts and transforms. While each ring is different, a laser-cut “love” inscription is engraved in exactly the same position on every piece. You can see “love” all the way through a stack of Evolve rings.
The poet Carl Sandburg once said, “Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me.” His words perfectly describe the way the Evolve Collection came into being. Robert originally named the collection “Lust for Life.” The unexpected came into play when he first previewed the collection to a woman who immediately proceeded to grab a stack of rings and order them in a way that was meaningful to her: round with flat, thick with thin, stones and no stones, copper alongside gold. The way she arranged the rings said something unique about her own personal life and evolution. After Robert expressed some hesitancy about the original name of the collection, she suggested that he change the name to “Evolving with a Lust for Life.” From there the name transformed to the simple but powerful, “Evolve.”
Evolve has more to it than a collection of customizable rings — that would be too easy, and it’s already been done. Everyone has seen the charm bracelets where you buy a chain and add charms from different shops. Although they claim to tell a love story, the story is really just, “I bought this charm at the mall.” It’s all marketing dross and no depth. With Evolve, your story is an integral part of the creation of each ring. That’s just how it works at Robert Young Sculpture.
Robert Young believes that everyone should be able to wear jewellery that is meaningful and reflects the uniqueness of the wearer. The Evolve Collection is intended to be accessible to everyone. You can mix and match copper, silver, yellow gold, and white gold; choose between 1.2 and 2.4mm band thickness; combine round shapes with square; and play with both different types of stones and their placement on the rings. Create a set of rings that really tells your story, or start with just one and add others to it as you evolve over time. It’s up to you.
