A mono earring in 925 silver, 5.5 grams. The largest Classic Amulet cylinder (L) holds a raw aquamarine crystal by its top edge — the stone hangs open along its full length, uncut and unset. Made one at a time. AMULET is the family of wild-growth stones.
Material: 925 sterling silver, handmade in the Bali workshop.
Family: AMULET (RITUAL world), Classic model — a silver cylinder that caps the stone and leaves it open.
Stone: untreated wild aquamarine, a beryl coloured by iron; chosen by hand, not cut, not set.
Surface: Living Silver — 925 with no rhodium; it darkens with air and skin. Patina is a property, not a defect.
Form: a single mono earring, worn solo. Care: soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; no brush on the stone, no ultrasonic baths.
AMULET is a family of the RITUAL world: earrings and necklaces built around raw, wild-growth stones. Two flagship models anchor it — Classic (E-0530) and Thorn (E-0528). This is the Classic: a silver cylinder, cut at an angle, closing the crystal from above. Size L is the largest cylinder of the line — it carries more silver, and the aquamarine is shown along its full length.
The stone is aquamarine, a variety of beryl coloured by iron and kin to emerald and morganite. It was picked by hand and left untreated: no cut, no setting, exactly as it grew, the vertical striations of the crystal still on its faces. Every stone differs in colour and shape, and that is why this earring exists in a single copy.
925 silver is 92.5% pure silver. The surface here is Living Silver, with no plating: the earring arrives light and darkens from air and skin. The recesses go dark, friction lightens the raised edges. Patina is a property, not a defect, and care brings the metal back to light.
How it is made: the silver form is modelled — in 3D or by hand in wax. A silicone mould is taken from the model, and the silver is cast into it. A master finishes the cylinder by hand and fits the chosen stone.

Who it is for, and when
This earring is for people who wear one thing at a time and want the stone, not the metal, to be the object. There is little silver in the frame: the cylinder closes the top edge of the crystal and stops there, and from that point the aquamarine works on its own — a pale blue-green column with vertical faces, 5.5 grams with the frame. It is worn solo, on one ear; it neither needs nor assumes a second earring, because the stone in that one would be a different stone. Size L is the largest in the Classic line — for the same silhouette shorter and lighter, the line has the M at 3.9 grams. As a gift it lands with people who collect minerals or like raw stone: every amulet has its own tone and pattern, and there is no second one like it. This exact piece is sold. Press «Buy a similar one» and a master will build one close in look, size and finish, with its own stone — about two weeks.
