BRUTALISM is a family of the CODEX world (it also lives in RITUAL): Soviet brutalist architecture translated into silver, with Suprematist motifs. Sterling silver 925, Living Silver — the metal that lives and darkens on its own (a property), not oxidising (a technique applied at once). The BRUTALISM rings are the heaviest and most massive objects in the brand. Alongside THORN, BRUTALISM is one of the two signet families.

It is an exploration of Soviet brutalist aesthetics: its forms, its lines, its visual composition. The family develops under the influence of Suprematism — Suprematist motifs are present in it. Each V is a separate variation within one language, not a step in a series: V.1 carries raw tool marks, V.3 reads its own geometry, and further variations will be added.

For the origin of the word and the architecture behind it — Reyner Banham, Le Corbusier, the Smithsons — read the Atlas chapter on Brutalism. For the style across jewelry as a whole, read What Is Brutalist Jewelry.
