Custom Hair Wedding Rings

These 2 rings are based on mourning jewellery, but instead are a celebration of the everlasting bond between two people. Have your very own hair intertwined with your lovers and set behind sapphire crystal and 10Kt yellow gold. These rings are strong and durable so you can wear a symbol of your love on your wedding finger all day, everyday.

Victorian mourning jewellery was popular in the 1800’s. Since death was so common, it became popular for jewellers to set custom ‘hair art’ behind glass and metal so people could keep a piece of their loved one after they’d died. Hair is so special because it remains long after our bodies have faded, and is as unique as a finger print.

Katia’s sphere is Bioclimatology: Gene-splicing makes it easy to replicate extinct species, creating new ones, to re-engineer the climate.

The HydroWasp was Katia’s great success: Insect and plant genes, combined in a creature that absorbs CO2, eats crop-devastating aphids, and excretes pure water…

But. The HydroWasp evolved. It now kills bees—our best pollinators. Crops fail.

Many of the missing are suspected of anti-Authority views. Others were model citizens, but who knows what goes on behind closed doors?

But we hear interwebs talk of babies made into listening devices using nanotechnology.

Families trying to refuse post-natal injections are overruled for “public health reasons.” And their names are added to lists.

After all, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

The Authority laughed at protests when its cloud infrastructure was outsourced. Representatives blamed objections on labor unions: They’re being backward in the face of forward progress, they said.

The legions of skilled technicians who stoked the fires of connectivity no longer exist. They retrained.

Without them, rebuilding a society based on connectivity is no laughing matter.

I like to think about how much I can actually do for myself. Not just when it comes to handling technical things with being online but practical things like being able to sew clothes, grow food, milk a cow…

Chances are I won’t need to know everything. But, sometimes I do wonder. How self sufficient could I really be if I needed to be.

The Prepper culture interests me. The more they prepare for the more it seems there is to be prepared for. Much like knowledge itself. At some point you realize there is always going to be more to learn.

Manufacturing advances mean everyone can have anything they want, when they want it, for just the price of the 3D print.

But ever-changing methods of malign acquisition makes the counterfeit market almost unstoppable. When you can print anything using a torrented template and cheap materials, what’s to stop you having everything?…

But when everyone can have everything, what’s the value of anything?

Not so far from the “everybody wins” theory. If no one loses, if everyone has everything, what is the point of bothering to do anything, risk something, or even get up in the morning?

People need challenges, goals to work towards and we need to lose and want things we don’t have in order to care about life and living. We value what we had to work for more than what was freely given.
