THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The second form of the brand — a CNC aesthetic in silver. BLADE began with a chain link: even planes, as if cut from sheet material. From links like these grew the brand’s first massive bracelet; the BLADE form lives in bracelets, chains, chokers, a pin, an earring and an ear cuff.

An ear cuff in 925 sterling silver, 1.6 grams, size M, unisex. Worn without a piercing — the cuff grips the edge of the ear. BLADE family — a CNC aesthetic in silver.
A wax model, a silicone form, 925 silver, and hand finishing. A middle proportion: visible without demanding attention, stacks well with chains or a second earring. Living Silver finish, made to order in about two weeks.
The daily-rotation BLADE cuff. Quiet architecture.
Material: 925 sterling silver, no rhodium plating.
World / family: CODEX → BLADE — the CNC-milled sheet aesthetic, cut from a flat plane into even planes and clean edges.
Finish: Living Silver — the metal darkens on its own with air and skin; recesses deepen, edges lighten. Patina is a property, not a defect.
Form: an ear cuff that grips the edge of the ear — no piercing needed, either ear.
Care: soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
How size M differs from S and L
The BLADE cuff is one form in three silver sizes and one carbon size. The choice follows the edge of your ear rather than taste: the thicker the edge, the larger the size.
| Size | Weight | Ear type | Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blade Ear Cuff (S) | 0.5 g | Thin edge, smaller ear | Tight, close to ear |
| Blade Ear Cuff (M) — this piece | 1.6 g | Average edge thickness | Standard, the most frequent choice |
| Blade Ear Cuff (L) | 3.8 g | Thick edge, larger ear | Comfortable, secure grip |
| Blade Carbon Fiber Ear Cuff (L) | 0.3 g | Thick edge, larger ear | Same form in carbon: matte, never darkens |
The silver sizes are made to order in about two weeks; the carbon one takes about four, because carbon is cut and sanded longer. Size M weighs 1.6 grams and is barely felt on the ear. Size L is more than twice that weight and shows in a reflection. Carbon weighs almost nothing and keeps a matte graphite surface instead of a Living Silver one.
Who it is for, and when to wear it
The M cuff is for someone who wears silver every day and would rather stop thinking about the piece once it is on. It asks for no piercing and does not argue with earrings already in place: it sits above the lobe and leaves the bottom of the ear free.
One cuff on the left ear is the quietest build — visible up close, invisible from three steps away. Paired with a stud in the lobe it draws a vertical line that reads on camera and on a video call. Two cuffs on the same ear, M next to S, read as a single line: that is a statement rather than a detail.
Size M is the usual choice when the ear is average and the cuff is a first one: it holds without pressure, so it does not come off at the end of the day. For weight and presence, size L is closer; for the least metal on the ear, size S. The full range of forms is in the ear cuffs collection.

Ask a question →Frequently asked questions
Do I need a piercing to wear this ear cuff?
No. The cuff slips onto the edge of the ear and stays put by its grip — no piercing needed. Wear it on either ear, on its own or paired with an earring.
How much does the cuff weigh, and how does it sit on the ear?
The Blade cuff (M) is 1.6 grams of 925 sterling silver, size M. It is light and almost imperceptible on the ear. A measured proportion: visible, but with no pressure.
What does the CNC aesthetic in BLADE mean?
BLADE is the aesthetic of CNC-milled sheet metal: the form is cut from a flat sheet, leaving even planes and clean edges. The cuff itself is silver — we are describing this kind of form, not the material of the sheet.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 silver without rhodium plating. The cuff arrives light and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief deepen, while friction lightens the raised edges. The patina is a property, not a defect. To return the metal to the light, care for it with a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
What is the BLADE family?
BLADE is the second form of STRUGA from the CODEX world — the CNC aesthetic in silver. The family began as a link for a chain and lives on in bracelets, chokers, a pin, an earring and this cuff: one form carried through different pieces.
