A black faceted zircon set into oxidized S925 silver, framed by raised crown-like claws and held with an 18G screw-on post.
The front is simple at first: a small dark center, a ring of old silver around it. Then the setting starts to show. The claws rise unevenly around the zircon, gripping the edge like worn metal teeth. The oxidized grooves deepen the frame, while the polished high points catch just enough light to mark the shape.
The black zircon does not sparkle loudly. It stays dark until movement gives it a brief flash, then it disappears back into itself. That restraint is the point. The silver doesn’t try to make it brighter. It holds it in place.
At 6mm, it is built for daily wear — close to the lobe, small enough to leave in, strong enough to carry a mood. The screw-back closure finishes the piece from behind: post, ball, setting, all locked together.
You wear it with a black tee, an old jacket, no extra shine. Someone catches the dark point on your ear and looks again. Not because it asked for attention. Because it held its ground.
