How sweet is the flower of life that blooms from nature? 

How much goes into the making of every one such existence…? 

Walking through vast fields of farmland, you may come across rows and rows of [choux], or cabbages - and perhaps at first glance, each of these round, leafy vegetables seems pretty much the same… 

Just like how we, in today's society and structure, learn to "line up and fit in," in an orderly way for the purpose of everyday harmony.

But as you look at this ring, we ask you to take a moment - to pause and take a closer look… for we hope that it will help you discover - or perhaps it is more accurate to say rediscover - the uniqueness that exists in each of us [choux]. 

Have you ever stopped to wonder how each [choux] in the cabbage patch grew… what each has been through as an individual existence…? 

Because we, as one of the many, can normally only see and feel what is expressed directly in front of us at each moment, besides our own thoughts. 

Changes over time are also especially difficult to perceive, unless you are particularly watching for them nonstop…

And these sensations or realizations may be further dulled by various, complicated societal factors that are inescapable in our modern lives…

But in reality, each [choux] contains far more than what we can simply see at a moment… 

From fragile seed within the earth, not yet appeared out into the world… to newly germinated sprout, vulnerable and innocent, not yet acquainted with the elements…

Which direction to grow…? 

Feeling the air, the wind, the sun, the rain… all for the first time! 

The blossoming of the first real leaves… a big step for a delicate and new life. 

And all the while, struggling to thrive within a pre-chosen environment - a multitude of factors that combine to affect how each [choux] develops. 

Then, a climax step - finally reaching the time when the outer leaves unfurl… to reveal the surfacing of one's core - the part that most expresses the self, a culmination of the experiences borne thus far, and a backbone that will continue to support one throughout growth. 

Like the flower quartz that is the core of this particular [choux] - 

With complexities in the quartz as remaining proof of progress and challenges faced,

distinct colors and forms so particular that they can only be identified as one's own, 

and a one-of-a-kind bloom like a dry flower, an inclusion captured like an eternal and beautiful truth of the heart - 

The core evokes your true "self," and each of our [choux] expresses this appearance of the core as jewelry - to represent to the maximum, the uniqueness that is the "self" of each of us. 

This "self," of which there is, of course, no two alike… we represent it through the fittingly, unique individuality of gemstones - shining, natural treasures of this earth. 

Each of these stones, a combination of characteristics all of their own… 

We invite you to choose the gem, the "core" that represents you best, and we will bring out the one [choux] for you! 

"Is this my choux…?" You'll feel it when you put the jewelry on - a synchrony that truly matches you! 

And it is not just the core that our [choux] expresses; 

Just as every cabbage in the field is impacted by a variety of differences - 

environments differing in types of soil, weather, moisture and sunlight… 

origin of water supply and nutrients, air quality…

the other beings that live around it and may visit…

and perhaps the occasional, assisting shade from others, among many other factors - 

Each of these backgrounds has its own struggles and merits…

And each, of course, results in a [choux] that is only possible through such a unique combination of components… 

Add in the fact that each [choux] itself is from the start its own type - 

from the dainty brussel sprouts to the large, majestic brassicas; 

from deep and bright greens to vivid purplish-reds - 

there are hundreds of varieties of "cabbages" (and more possibilities yet to come!) each with different growth rates, flavors, shapes, and textures and placements of leaves…! 

A metaphor that parallels that there really are an unimaginable range of personalities, ways of thinking, and ways of living among us, don't you think…?

That is why, when we create your [choux], we strive for an expression that takes into account the differences resulting from the factors contributing to the whole…for a [choux] that is truly as unique as you… respecting the uniqueness that pervades every one of us: 

Based on your chosen "core," we create each surface of the ring arm and stone seat accordingly - with textures, shapes, heights, contours, finish, and polish specifically coordinated to each gemstone - to fully express the distinctness of each [choux]... of each of us! 

When you wear your [choux], 

look within to the gemstone core to view a representation of your own unique, inner shine and glow.

And explore the surrounding layers of the ring to reminisce about the "layers" that make "you"… how you came to be - from seed, to sprout, to maturely-grown with your own core… yes, once-upon-a-time, you were like this, too! 

And because, in the same way that it is difficult for oneself to see this process in others, usually others may not see this entirety of "you"... 

So we also have created our [choux] with the hope that it will help you express yourself to others… 

No matter how similar we all might seem sometimes, when viewed through the everyday lens of "society"...! 

Your [choux], no doubt, also incorporates your own special message to yourself, 

such as this particular flower quartz [choux]

holds a wish that you forever [flourish]... in life, and in life-long happiness! 

So cherish every moment with your special [choux]...

let it accompany you throughout your life's progression - 

and may it forever support you with the awareness that… "this is my life, and it is unique and beautiful!" 

From Moixx to you, 

A heartfelt wish…

That you, too, will find your one and only 

[choux]!
