VRAT is Sanskrit for vow. This ring is a daily ritual, a way to carry your promise, oath or intention where you can see it. Its unbroken circle is a bond without beginning or end. Wear it as a reminder of what you stand for. A vow made visible. Each piece begins as Jayashri's pen-and-ink drawing and is cast from its own single 3D print: one print, one cast.

What it holds

  • Prayer

    A written prayer.

  • Ashes

    A small amount of ashes.

  • Hair

    A lock of hair.

A small cap on a hinge, opened gently with a fingertip. It has no silicone seal.

A vow made visible

The story

VRAT is Sanskrit for vow. The ring is a daily ritual and a symbol of your promise, oath or intention; its unbroken circle stands for eternal love, unity and commitment, a bond without beginning or end.

I start with a storyboard, a pen-and-ink drawing of my own design, inspired by pieces I have collected for over forty years from all over the world.

Jayashri Triolo, maker

VRAT is built to be handed down because of what it is made from, the ritual and love poured into it, and because it is worn. A Kavacha is not only a beautiful piece of jewelry; it is an altarpiece for your body, your temple.

How it is made

  1. Jayashri draws each design by hand: a pen-and-ink storyboard, inspired by pieces she has collected for over forty years from all over the world.
  2. A 3D model is built from her drawing, and she reviews it for scale and for fidelity to the drawing before anything is cast.
  3. A single 3D print is made for each piece.
  4. One cast is taken from that one print: the metal is poured, not bent from sheet metal. This is not the traditional method where one mold yields hundreds of pieces: every piece is one print, one cast.
  5. The stones are set, and the piece is finished, polished and hallmarked.

Care

14K yellow gold can collect natural oils, lotions and residue from everyday wear. Gently clean the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild dish soap, then wipe with clean water and dry thoroughly. A soft jewelry polishing cloth can be used to restore its luster.

The cap opens on a small hinge and has no silicone seal: open it gently with a fingertip, and take the ring off to wash your hands, bathe or swim.

Remove your Kavacha before swimming, bathing, hot tubs or saunas, or using strong chemicals, and put on perfume, lotion and sunscreen first. Water resistance has not been tested, so do not treat the piece as watertight. Keep the chamber and anything inside it completely dry. Once ashes or another irreplaceable trace are inside, the piece is not meant to be opened and closed casually or repeatedly, although it can be reopened when necessary. Contact Kavacha Designs | Sacred Armor™ before filling it for guidance. Full care guide: Caring for Your Kavacha.
