The number 108 carries weight across traditions. In yogic practice it marks the completion of a cycle; in astronomy it appears in the ratio of the sun's diameter to its distance from Earth. The Sanskrit numerals on this charm break it down further: 1 for higher truth, 0 for completeness, 8 for infinity. Worn as a talisman, it is a quiet reminder of something larger — small enough to sit close to the collarbone, specific enough to start a conversation.
Rize makes jewellery in Jaipur, drawing on India's architectural and craft heritage. Every piece is handmade by artisans from marginalised communities, and the brand's Fair Trade commitment means those artisans are paid and supported fairly. The base metal is recycled sterling silver throughout — not a marketing claim, a material specification. The gold vermeil finish is applied at 2.5 microns, which is the threshold that separates genuine vermeil from gold-plated pieces that wear away quickly.
Ten per cent of every Rize sale goes to two children's charities in Bangalore. That is built into the price, not added on top.
