It began in the mountains of Southern Oregon, and the California Sierra Nevada.  Being a lover of nature, rivers and streams I always found myself drawn to these places.  And ever curious I heard one could find gold if one dug in the right places.  And so I did, always careful to not disturb living things, and always with just a pan to not choke the river with silt.  Sometime later I went to live in Sardinia for a summer to study Italian.  And there I met a girl with eyes as clear as the Sardinian waters.  When I returned to San Francisco I knew I needed to find more gold, gold to make a ring.  When I had enough gold, I had a problem to solve how does one make a ring from raw gold?  Well, everyone says lost wax casting is the way, which is nice but a considerable capital investment.  So a good friend (The venerable Random Rab) of mine asked me "Well how did they do it a thousand years ago?".  So I researched this and came across the ancient method of cuttlebone casting.  Ancient gold smiths would take the dry skull of the cuttlefish and carve in a design, this pure calcium core can take liquid metal up to 3000 degrees fahrenheit.  And so I went about the task, I carved 7 molds in my first attempt to cast a ring, the first 6 failed, then the last try with all my intention and thoughts of love the torch poured it's heat over the metal until it turned liquid.  In that form I saw a universe, it was pink and light blue and all I could see and feel was love.  The last casting took and the first Lynchini was born, born of love, good will and maybe a little magic.

Every Lynchini ring is made in the same way, by hand with love.  Lynchini believes two people who love each other should be able to marry, period.
