A Valentine’s evening, then an artwork for your wall

You each put on a smart ring, sit across from each other, and press Start. From then on, the room holds just the two of you, face to face, looking at each other and talking freely.

Thirty minutes is the usual length. The guide allows anywhere from ten minutes to an hour, and couples settle near half an hour on their own. The smart rings record only heart variations: your words stay between you.

To get you started, the guide gives ten questions, in an order you choose, read out loud. The guide prints on a sheet of paper you keep on the table between you.

Shipping within the United States is included, and the rings leave the studio within three business days, with a tracking number. Mid-January is the date that matters: order by then and the box sits at home well before the 14th.

Ordering in February? Order anyway and give the night itself on the 14th. The box of rings arrives afterwards, and you live the evening the week after, or in March, whenever you choose.

The artwork ships about two weeks after your evening: the gift arrives twice, and the second part goes on your wall.

The shape of the artwork comes from what your two hearts were doing while you sat there together, on the night you picked.

You pick an artwork and two colors; the studio composes the rest from your evening, and the artwork belongs to the two of you alone. A certificate of authenticity travels with the artwork, carrying the date and time of your evening.

Checkout asks for two ring sizes, on the American scale — whole numbers, 6 through 13. Measure a ring they already wear across the inside with a ruler, and take the larger size if you are between two.

On the day, you hand over a box with two smart rings and a charger, and you explain the gift out loud: that explanation is half the gift.
