Duskgild · The Register · Gothic Necklaces & Pendants
Images are AI-generated renders of the design, not photographs of your cast piece — which is made to order in solid 925 sterling silver to this same design. Real-cast photographs are added as pieces come back from the bench.
A heart grown from the briar. Thorned vines twist into the shape of a heart, a rose opening at one shoulder, and a single round black stone held in bright claws at the center — the bloom and the barb in one piece.
From the dark register — Duskgild's memento mori line. Solid 925 sterling silver, oxidized so the thorns keep their shadows and the edges stay bright, with one round lab-created black spinel prong-set at the heart and a sterling silver chain included. Grown from the same briar as Bramble, the thorn cuff — the hedge, worn at the throat.

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.
Wearing it
Briarheart hangs at the collarbone on its sterling chain, the black stone catching the light inside the open heart. The rose reads at conversation distance; the thorns only up close — the bloom and the barb in one piece.
