SS24 Nº 002 — Nature’s Origin | Rhodochrosite Compass Coin · Ring

A natural Rhodochrosite is reverse-set within a compact Compass Coin, framed by the Compass Star and detailed with the Universe Burst. A Phoenix is engraved on the reverse as a hidden symbol of renewal.

The coin sits upon a refined ring shank, creating an everyday sigil that remains close to the hand and visible through daily movement.

Designed and hand-finished in Melbourne, Australia. Each Rhodochrosite is selected for its individual rose colour, banding and natural character.

Anima Mundi ~ The Wheel of Life™ is Melana’s living compass of direction, element, season, archetype and alchemy. Each jewel is positioned within the Wheel to reveal the current it carries and the transformation it is designed to support.

Aligned with the Butterfly of East, Air and Mid Spring, Nature’s Origin carries the clarifying work of Separation—where old identities loosen and what remains true becomes easier to recognise.

Rhodochrosite supports self-worth and heart connection through change. It helps the wearer release roles shaped by fear or approval while preserving the bonds, values and inner qualities that still belong.

This is a ring for becoming more fully yourself without believing growth must cost love, belonging or tenderness.

The Seven Soul Gates decode the jewel’s deeper architecture—its guide, transformation, virtues, anchors and timing within the Wheel.

I wanted this ring to feel like a small promise made to the self during change.

Rhodochrosite is soft in colour, but it does not feel fragile to me. It carries the strength of staying open while an old identity falls away. The Compass Coin gives that softness direction—a reminder that becoming is not the same as losing yourself.

My hope is that you look down at this ring and remember: growth can bring you closer to what is true, and closer to the people who can meet you there.

With awe & wonder,
Mel x
