The Offering
A hand holds one ring up to the light. Each scroll lowers it out of frame and raises it again with the next ring, and pressing the ring opens its price and story at the side.
A ring is chosen in the hand, not in a grid. This concept puts a hand on the homepage and lets it offer the collection one ring at a time.
How it works
The hero is two short films of a hand joined into one sequence of stills: the hand holds a ring, lowers it out of frame, and rises again holding the next. One scroll plays one film to its end at twenty two frames a second, so the hand always stops with a ring held up, and scrolling back plays it in reverse. The line under the big RINGS title is the name of the ring she is holding, and it steps away while the hand moves. When a ring is up, a small pill appears at the bottom with its photo, name and price. Pressing it slides a panel out from the side in an arched frame, with the ring on the hand in close up, its type, price, description, stone, metal, setting, lead time and sizes, and a button to reserve it. The page holds still while the panel is open.
Who it fits
The demo is a fictional fine jeweller, AVELINE, with three engagement rings: an emerald halo, an oval solitaire and a marquise crown stack. Thin wide capitals, a spaced brand mark, outlined pill buttons and an arched frame in the side panel.
Why it sells
One ring at a time, raised to the light, is how a jeweller presents a piece across a counter. The scroll becomes that gesture, and the details are one press away rather than a page away.

Common questions
Why does each scroll play the whole movement?
Scrubbing a hand with the wheel makes it jitter. Playing the full movement on one flick means the hand always lowers and rises smoothly and always stops with a ring held up, never halfway.
How do the two films become one?
The first film ends on the same ring the second one begins with, so their stills are laid end to end as one sequence. The page knows the three frames where a ring is held up and stops on them.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. A swipe plays the next ring, the title sits above the hand, and the side panel fills the screen when the ring is pressed.
What else could be offered like this?
Anything held in the hand: watches, earrings, a perfume bottle, a phone, a cocktail. The hand gives scale and intimacy that a product on a plain background cannot.
