- Description
The well wish engraved in this ring is 平安如意. "平安” means safe and at peace. Coupled with 如意 (ruyi), this is a well wish for safety and good fortune.
The Well Wishes Band was designed amidst the pandemic and rising violence against Asians. It's a minimal yet powerful ring that encourages us to embrace our identity while manifesting the safety and protection of our community. Every time you turn this ring a full circle on your finger, it's as if you are speaking this well wish into the universe.
We recommend the Well Wishes Band as gifts for loved ones.

CULTURE NOTES
Well Wishes
The phrase 如意 (ruyi) means "as desired" and is often used in well wishes to friends and family to wish that all things go as desired. 如意 is commonly tacked onto other phrases to express variations of well wishes:
✦万事如意✦
"万事” means 10,000 things/events. Coupled with 如意, this is a well wish that 10,000 things go as desired.
✦吉祥如意✦
"吉祥" means "auspicious". Coupled with 如意, this is a well wish for auspiciousness and good fortune.
✦幸福如意✦
“幸福" roughly translates to "happiness". Coupled with 如意, this is a well wish for happiness and good fortune.
These phrases are most often seen and heard during the Spring Festival as friends and families exchange well wishes with one another.
