Part of a set — worn together
The Thicket · Grown from the same briar.
A briar branch bent into a hoop and left to guard the ear. Two thorn branches of oxidized 925 sterling silver, barbed and bark-textured, each holding a single oval lab-created green stone in raised prongs — a bright green eye among the thorns. They sit close as huggie hoops, thorns turned out.
Solid 925 sterling silver, oxidized by hand so the dark settles into the bark and the thorn tips stay bright. A few white cubic-zirconia pavé accents ride the crown; the closure is a hinged huggie. Sold as a pair, roughly 18 mm across, made to order. The ear’s answer to the Bramble thorn cuff.

Why you can trust it
- Solid 925 sterling silver. The real metal all the way through, 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.
- Every stone is lab-created and named. No mystery stones, no natural-stone pricing games.
- 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 September 23 — 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.
