THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
One-of-one ritual amulets — earrings and necklaces built around a raw, wild-growth natural stone. The Amulet family spans two models: the Thorn frame and the Classic cylinder. Every piece is unique in stone, colour, and character.

A natural uncut transparent tourmaline inside the small Thorn Amulet — the rarest stone in the line, clear against brushed silver.
Transparent tourmaline is an outlier in the Amulet series — no colour, pure clarity. The small THORN torpedo holds it in the diagonal cut, the silver around it carrying all the weight of contrast. 925 silver, handmade. Living Silver — the frame will darken, the stone stays completely clear.
Material: 925 sterling silver, handmade.
Type: Thorn Amulet — a THORN form in the AMULET family, RITUAL world.
Stone: natural uncut transparent tourmaline, colourless — each one unique in shape.
Surface: Living Silver (925 without rhodium) — the frame darkens with air and skin; the stone stays clear. Patina is a property, not a defect.
Care: return the metal to light with a soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
For the wearer who wants the amulet read as light, not as colour.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the earring weigh, and what size is it?
The amulet earring is 3.5 grams of 925 sterling silver. This is the small size of the THORN amulet: a compact form that sits well in everyday wear. The stone is held within a diagonal cut in the silver.
What is the stone, and what colour is it?
A natural, uncut tourmaline of wild growth. It is transparent and colourless — the clearest stone in the Amulet series. Each stone is unique in shape, so no two earrings are ever alike.
Why does the silver darken while the stone does not?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 silver with no rhodium plating. The earring arrives light and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief deepen, while friction lightens the raised edges. The tourmaline does not respond to this and stays transparent. The patina is a property, not a defect; you can return the metal to the light with a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
What is a THORN amulet?
A THORN amulet is a type within the AMULET family that carries the THORN form into volume: a torpedo cut in half, with the stone grown inside it. It is a homage to Daniel Arsham. The AMULET family lives in the RITUAL world and gathers earrings and necklaces set with untreated, wild-growth stones.
Is the earring sold singly or as a pair?
This is a single object with a unique stone, so it is sold as one earring. Wear it on its own — as a single, expressive amulet — or build a pair with other STRUGA silver.
