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.

The smaller reading of the Thorn Amulet — a raw aquamarine set into an S-size silver torpedo, second in the series.
#2 drops the scale: the same split Thorn form, cut down to the small frame, same aquamarine logic — raw stone, hand-picked, never repeated. 925 silver, handmade in the workshop. The cut through the torpedo is where the stone breathes; the silver around it reads THORN sharpness at a closer, quieter size. Uncoated 925 silver — the metal will darken over time.
A mono earring for everyday wear. The stone stays as it was — the silver around it keeps changing.
Material: 925 sterling silver, Living Silver — uncoated, no rhodium; it darkens on its own with air and skin.
Type: Thorn Amulet, a form in the AMULET family of the RITUAL world — it borrows the THORN silhouette (CODEX) but is a separate object and carries a stone.
Stone: a raw, hand-picked aquamarine, uncut and never repeated — a single mono earring, no matching pair.
Surface: patina is a property, not a defect.
Care: soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution kept away from the stone; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
The stone is a raw, wild-grown aquamarine — a beryl that formed in its own shape and was never cut. This one is a translucent, pale green crystal rather than a blue one — the pale end of the range aquamarine covers. Where the crystal broke off, the surface runs from clear to matte — the stone is geology here, not a promise. No two are the same colour, which is why there is no second earring like this one.
925 silver is 92.5% pure silver. At 3.5 grams the earring is light and the ear barely registers it.
How it is made: the silver form is modelled first, in 3D or by hand in wax. A silicone mould is taken from the wax model and the silver is cast. A silversmith then finishes the frame by hand and sets the chosen stone inside it.
Thorn Amulet sizes — how the S frame compares
| Model E-0528 | S — this piece | M | L |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver weight | 3.5 g | 4.9–5.4 g | 5.9–6.5 g |
| How it reads | sits close to the lobe, quiet | the base proportion of the model | the longest torpedo, the loudest of the three |
| Stone in the series | raw aquamarine | aquamarine or tourmaline | aquamarine or tourmaline |
| Worn | every day | day or evening | evening, as the single accent |
All three are the same halved-torpedo form in the same uncoated 925 silver; only the frame length and the stone change. Every piece in the model is one-of-one — see what exists right now in the AMULET family, or have a similar one made through Custom Order.
Who it is for
A mono earring for one ear, worn without a pair. At 3.5 grams the S frame is the lightest reading of the model: it sits at the lobe and does not pull, so it stays in through a working day and overnight. It suits someone who already wears a single earring and wants an object rather than an ornament — the raw stone is the point of the piece, and it is not repeated anywhere.
It also works as a first Thorn Amulet, if the model is new to you: the S size shows the form at its quietest, before the M and L frames turn it into a statement. As a gift it carries no sizing risk — there is nothing to measure, and a mono earring fits any ear.

Ask a question →Frequently asked questions
Is this a single earring or a pair?
This is a single mono earring, worn on its own. It exists as one piece only: the stone and its pattern are not repeated, and there is no matching second earring. The S size is a compact form that sits closer to the ear.
Is the aquamarine treated or faceted?
No. This is a raw, wild-grown aquamarine — it formed in its natural shape, uncut, and was chosen by hand. That is why each stone differs in colour and character, and no two are alike.
What is a Thorn Amulet, and how does it differ from the THORN family?
A Thorn Amulet is a type within the AMULET family, in the RITUAL world. Its form echoes the sharp angle of THORN in three dimensions — a torpedo cut in half, with a stone set inside. The THORN family itself is a separate form of the CODEX world, with no stones; the Thorn Amulet only borrows its silhouette.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 sterling silver without rhodium plating. The earring arrives light and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief deepen, while friction lightens the raised edges. Patina is a property, not a defect. You can bring the metal back to the light with care: a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution, kept away from the stone. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
How much does the earring weigh?
The earring weighs 3.5 grams of 925 sterling silver in the S size. It is light — the ear barely feels it — and can be worn every day.
