Inspired by inscriptions from the film, the epitaph reads: “Light, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ebe reborn ” And when worn on the upper pointer finger, the ring becomes a \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eguide that points the wearer towards what is lost and what they wish to \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eprotect.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Gaia Gia Collection\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lapaigallery.com\/collections\/gaia-gia-ocadu\"\u003eGaia Gia Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.lapaigallery.com\/pages\/23rd-annual-national-jewellery-student-competition\" title=\"23rd ANJSC Exhibition\"\u003eReturn to 23rd ANJSC Exhibition \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"L.A.
