How heavy is the Thorn Ring and does the weight affect daily wear?

The Thorn Ring is 5 grams of 925 sterling silver. That's a moderate, present weight — you feel it on the hand, but it doesn't drag or fatigue the finger. The half-link silhouette keeps mass concentrated on one side, so the balance reads asymmetric by design. For daily wear it sits well; the sharp planes are cleanly edged, not aggressive against neighboring fingers. Most clients wear it continuously without removing it for normal tasks.

How do I choose the right size for an asymmetric ring like this?

Measure the finger you actually intend to wear it on, late in the day when fingers are at their fullest. Because the Thorn Ring has a half-link cut and sharp planes, I recommend a snug-but-not-tight fit — too loose, and the asymmetric mass rotates on the finger, which you don't want. If you're between sizes, go down. If you already own a STRUGA ring that fits well, send me that reference size through Custom Order and I'll match it.

How do I care for the Living Silver finish?

Living Silver is meant to age. Recessed surfaces darken with wear, sweat, and environment; raised faces stay bright from contact and friction. Don't polish the whole ring — you'll erase the contrast that defines it. If it gets too dark overall, wipe only the raised planes with a soft cloth to bring them back. Avoid chlorine pools, harsh chemical cleaners, and ultrasonic baths. Soap, water, and time are the only maintenance this ring actually needs.

Can the Thorn Ring be customized?

Yes, through Custom Order. The base geometry stays — half-link cut, sharp planes, no stones — but I can adjust width, profile depth, or the angle of the asymmetric break to suit your hand. Sizing outside the standard range is available. I don't add stones to this design; it belongs to the Dark Union line as an alternative wedding band, and the language is structural, not ornamental. Write to me directly with what you have in mind.

925 sterling silver in the shape of thorns — sharp, plane-faceted, cleanly edged. THORN design code at the intersection of the brand's two structural languages: THORN and BRUTALISM.

THORN began with a chain link whose edges actually pricked the skin — a constant, quiet reminder. The ring carries that geometry into a hard, asymmetric silhouette: half-link cut, sharp planes, no stones. A wax model, a silicone form, 925 silver, and hand finishing. Living Silver finish — recessed surfaces darken with the environment, raised faces stay bright.

An alternative wedding band for the Dark Union line: it ages with whatever it lives through. Worn solo or paired with another silver piece.

Material: 925 sterling silver, no stones, no plating.
Design code: THORN × BRUTALISM — hard, asymmetric half-link silhouette with sharp, plane-faceted edges.
Finish: Living Silver — a property, not applied oxidation: recessed surfaces darken with the environment, raised faces stay bright.
Line: an alternative wedding band for Dark Union; ages with whatever it lives through.
Care: don't polish the whole ring — wipe only the raised planes; avoid chlorine, harsh cleaners, and ultrasonic baths.
