CORTEX
The wound worn like language — an opening that refused to close into silence, kept legible against the pressure to pretend it had ever healed.

Handmade in Italy
Anatomy
925 silver forged with Chiaroscuro finish, achieved through controlled volcanic oxidation. The oval head and entire band are devoured by a mottled texture evoking the ash of Campi Flegrei. The organic form appears consumed by time. One of a kind: every spot, every erosion, every shadow is unrepeatable.
Specifications
Material
925 Sterling Silver
Finish
Chiaroscuro
Chiaroscuro is the play of light and shadow Caravaggio brought to Naples: light tearing form out of the dark. We burnish every surface by hand so the shadow stays in the grooves and the light catches the relief.
