Full size for those who want the unpolished BRUTALISM at full scale — a structural silver object.
Material: 925 sterling silver, no rhodium plating.
Family / world: BRUTALISM, from the CODEX world — architecture in silver.
Form: V.1, the rawest variation — tool marks and wax-model texture kept visible.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need pierced ears to wear this cuff?
No. The cuff goes on without a piercing: it wraps the edge of the ear and holds by its form. It works on a pierced or an unpierced ear alike.
How much does the cuff weigh, and how does size L differ from M?
The cuff is 3.8 grams of 925 sterling silver. This is the full size L: the V.1 form reads at full scale. There is also a smaller version, size M; people choose L when they want a large, present object on the ear.
Why does the cuff's surface look raw and uneven?
It is meant to. V.1 is the rawest of the BRUTALISM variations: tool marks stay visible and the texture of the wax model is kept. This is not a flaw but the character of the form — architecture in silver in its unworked state.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 silver with no rhodium plating. The cuff arrives light and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief deepen, friction lightens the raised edges. On a raw texture the patina reads especially clearly. Patina is a property, not a defect. To bring the metal back to light, care for it with a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
What is the BRUTALISM family?
BRUTALISM is a STRUGA family from the CODEX world: architecture in silver, a study of the aesthetics of Soviet brutalism under the influence of Suprematism. Today these are the heaviest and most massive rings and cuffs in the brand; the family is young, and the range will grow.
