An uplifting mantra captured in wearable form, the Sunshine Mind Ring serves as a radiant memento to lean into optimism and positivity on those cloudy days. Words around the band read "sunshine mind" - a mindful affirmation to seek out your inner happy place amidst life's inevitable storms.
This ring draws inspiration from an ancient tradition of adorning rings and bands with inscribed messages, dating back thousands of years. In ancient Rome, rings engraved with spiritual incantations or romantic poetry were crafted as symbolic tokens of love, luck, or power. Egyptian pharaohs wore ornate rings bearing hieroglyphic inscriptions proclaiming their divine right to rule. The practice continued through the Middle Ages, with posy rings featuring charming verses or mottos like "Embrace me but embrace me not" commonly exchanged between friends and lovers. Like these historical pieces, the Sunshine Mind Ring harnesses the power of language as a talisman of sorts - providing wisdom and inspiration quite literally at your fingertips.

After a 10-year hiatus from jewellery to pursue a career in eyewear design, Nicola, the founder and maker behind HOUSE17, felt the need to dust off her tools and get back to the workbench. Over the years, she has designed for several fashion and accessory brands ranging from high street to high end. In 2022, she decided to put that experience into action to help fulfil her dream of creating her own jewellery brand.
Getting back to handmade was one of her main drives for starting her own brand. Nicola uses the ancient technique of lost wax casting for a lot of the pieces in her collection. Intricately hand carving each piece from wax, before casting it in recycled silver, then finishing by hand.
HOUSE17 reflects Nicola’s passion for travel, nature, and the therapeutic benefits of creativity. Each piece is designed to evoke a feeling. HOUSE17’s mission is to empower self-confidence and expression, encouraging escapism through creativity.
