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 single 925 silver earring with a raw aquamarine, L frame, 6.5 g. Fourth in the Amulet series and the largest of the ones set with aquamarine. One-of-one — this exact piece is sold.
The earring is built in two parts. Above sits a narrow silver huggie with four short thorns and STRUGA engraved along its face. Below it, on two jump rings, hangs the amulet: a silver torpedo opened along a long diagonal cut, four small thorns set down its body, with the crystal standing in the opening and its tip running past the metal.
L is the longest frame in the model and the rarest of the three sizes: three earrings exist across the whole size, against six in S and nine in M. At 6.5 grams this one is the heaviest the model has produced.
This piece was priced at $220, charged as Rp 3,920,000. It was made once and sold. A similar earring can be made through Custom Order.
Material: 925 sterling silver, handmade. Finish: Living Silver — bare, without rhodium plating, so recesses darken and raised planes stay bright over time (a property, not a defect).
Type: THORN Amulet — the most expressive type in the AMULET family, from the world of RITUAL.
Stone: a raw, uncut aquamarine, hand-selected — so no two pieces read alike. A single earring, worn alone.
Care: soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths, especially near the stone.
The stone grew in its own shape and was never cut. It is a slim column, translucent, pale sea-green at the shoulder and clearing toward the tip, with the fine lines of its own growth running the whole length. Aquamarine is beryl, and iron held inside the crystal gives it that colour — this is geology, not a promise. Where the column broke off, that end stays matte against the silver.
925 silver is 92.5% pure silver. At 6.5 grams the L frame is the full reading of the model: the torpedo hangs the length of the lobe, and the long cut leaves the crystal open along its whole face.
How it is made: the silver form is modelled first, in 3D or by hand in wax. A silicone mould is taken from that model and the silver is cast. A silversmith then finishes the frame by hand and sets the chosen stone inside it.

Who it is for
A mono earring for one ear, worn without a pair. The L frame is the loudest of the three: at 6.5 grams it hangs with real weight and reads from across a room, so it works best when the other ear is left deliberately bare. It suits someone who already wears a single earring and wants the object seen, not noticed in passing.
Aquamarine is the cold end of the model — glassy, pale, sea-green — where tourmaline reads warm against skin. The long cut of the L frame opens the crystal along its whole face, so this size shows a stone better than S or M do. As a gift a mono earring carries no sizing risk: there is nothing to measure, and it fits any ear. This exact piece is gone, but the L frame stays the rarest way into the model — three earrings in the entire size, and all three in bare silver.

Ask a question →Frequently asked questions
How much does the earring weigh, and how is it worn?
The earring is 6.5 g of 925 sterling silver (92.5% pure silver). It is a single earring — worn alone, in one ear, as a standalone object, without a pair. The frame is size L, the longest in the model.
Can I still buy this earring, and what does it cost?
This exact piece is sold and will not return: the stone was one crystal, and it is set. It was priced at $220, charged as Rp 3,920,000. A similar earring in the same L frame can be made through Custom Order, with a stone chosen for it.
What is a THORN Amulet, and what sets it apart?
The Thorn Amulet is the most expressive type within the AMULET family, from the world of RITUAL. Its form reads like a torpedo cut in half — as if unearthed after thousands of years, with a crystal grown inside. It is an homage to Daniel Arsham. The THORN family itself belongs to the CODEX world and carries no stones; the Thorn Amulet only borrows its silhouette.
How does the L frame differ from S and M?
Length, weight, and how much crystal the frame lets you see. S weighs 3.5–3.9 g and sits close to the lobe; M weighs 4.9–5.4 g and is the base proportion of the model; L weighs 5.9–6.5 g, hangs the length of the lobe and shows the most stone. L is also the rarest of the three: three earrings against six in S and nine in M, and every one of them was made in bare silver, never blackened.
Is the aquamarine real, and why is each earring made one at a time?
Set inside is a raw, wild-grown aquamarine — uncut, in its natural form, a slim translucent column with the lines of its own growth along it. Each stone is chosen by hand for its specific piece, so every earring is singular: the colour and character of the stone never repeat. This is the fourth earring in the Thorn Amulet series and the largest of the ones set with aquamarine.
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: recessed areas of the relief deepen, while friction lightens the raised edges. On the L frame that contrast reads strongly, because the planes are long. The patina is a property, not a defect. To bring the metal back toward the light, care for it with a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths, especially near the stone.
