Risto Matti Ratia was asked to design an object in memory of his mother, Armi Ratia. The idea for this necklace came from three sentences that Armi wrote at age 14 in her diary;
There is only one responsibility - beauty
There is only one reality - a dream
There is only one strenght -love
These words generated a circle that formed a triangular heart. Product series was named Faith, Hope and Love.
Kultakeskus Oy, which once produced an entire FHL jewellery set has taken this product now into re-production. Today, the necklace and the chain is made of stainless steel.
