Flagship Silver Jewelry $500+
What is on this page
The 21 heaviest and most complex pieces in the range — the flagship end, where the work per object is highest.
Price here follows material and labour rather than positioning. A link bracelet costs what it costs because it contains ninety-five grams of silver and dozens of individually assembled links.
Where the cost actually goes
Three things drive it.
Mass. Silver is sold by weight, and a 95-gram bracelet contains what six ordinary rings would.
Assembly. A BLADE link is built from two halves on copper pins and soldered into one whole. Multiply that by the number of links in a chain and the labour dominates.
Irreproducibility. Where a raw stone is involved, the setting is made for that crystal alone. Nothing about it can be reused.
What flagship means for wear
These are not occasion pieces to be kept in a box. Sterling silver is alloyed precisely so it can be worn daily without deforming, and the patina these develop is the point: after a year the piece is visibly yours.
A heavy piece worn twice a year looks new and says nothing. Worn constantly, it becomes the strongest thing you own.
Care
Cloth or silver cleaner returns the metal to light at any time. On link pieces work cleaner into the joints. Take silver off before the pool — chlorine darkens it unevenly.
