Caption: THE STORY... Jessy and her partner Perry are the founders of @Rhodesweddingco and they produce the most unique and beautiful wedding bands...
They believe that everyone has a unique story to tell about how their love has taken them places, and that their ring should reflect that journey in each handmade mark...

Caption: However...I am a divorcée &I haven’t worn any rings for years...
Picture
Caption: ( scroll down for all text... ) A lot of women of around my age, with a lot of life behind them, sometimes have a sudden urge to have a tattoo, or at least talk about it anyway!
A tattoo is not something I’ve ever wanted, although I quite like the idea of marking ‘middle age’ with a statement, and trying to think about what image sums up how I feel about myself and what my life is...when asked the question “What would your tattoo be?”, I’ve toyed with a red telephone box, a plant of some description, a constellation...and more recently the table!
Picture
Caption: BUT...I don’t want a tattoo!!
But how about a 'life band’? A ring which captures something very personal and is also very precious..something which has to be looked after and cherished...
Picture
Caption: So Perry created a life band for me which included and featured the tiny details of The Table; scratches, dents, holes, knots and gaps; all things which have evolved through my time with The Table...a table which has been the rock of my domestic life as a single parent, and now has proved invaluable within my work...
Picture
Caption: The table is part of me, my life & now to see it on my finger is a nod & acceptance to everything I’ve been through over the last decade..
Picture
Caption: THE PROJECT... Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing some of my history of The Table as well as different still life compositions with my own ring and 2 other wedding bands...
I wanted to start the project with looking at trees...after all, The Table was once a tree, and it’s incredible to think that over 100 years ago it also had leaves...
