Part of a set — worn together
The Roost · Wings for the hours after sundown.
A heart that only comes out at night. The full heart sits bordered in polished silver; the wings spread wide with the shadow kept in every vein of the membrane — roughly 38 mm tip to tip, worn at the collarbone. The matching oxidized rolo chain is included.
The entry to the dark register — the piece to start with if you've been circling the shop. Solid 925 sterling silver all the way through, hand-oxidized so the darkness lives in the recesses, not on the surface. Its cousin is the Nocturne ear cuff: same wings, worn higher.

Why you can trust it
- Solid 925 sterling silver. Stamped 925 — the real metal, not a coating.
- Any detail of this piece can change. The stone, its colour and cut, the metal finish, the size, the engraving, the proportions — because it is cast after you order, nothing here is fixed. Ask for the changes you want before you buy. Change enough and it stops being this design and becomes yours, at no extra cost beyond what the new piece takes to make.
- All metal, no fillers. Solid silver throughout — this piece is set with no stones.
- No plated base metal. Solid sterling all the way through — not silver-coloured brass.
- We tell you how it ages. The dark is an oxidized patina, not a coating — only microns thick. Worn every day it wears brighter along the raised edges while the recesses stay black. That is how oxidized silver ages, and it is not a fault.
- Made to order, and protected. Free US shipping, thirty-day returns, and Etsy buyer protection on every order.
- Wearing it on Halloween? Order by October 5 — it is cast after you order, so that is the last day the making and the post office both fit. Intricate casts take longer; ask us first.
