HELMAR – Blackened Silver Cross Earring - Garnet or Onyx - 14mm Hoop - Handmade Brutalist Men’s Jewelry

In old Nordic tales, HELMAR means the guardian — the one who walks between fire and shadow.
This blackened sterling silver earring embodies that ancestral symbol: a raw, brutal cross centered around a round gemstone, hand-set in your workshop.

The red garnet represents the ember of courage;
the black onyx, the frozen serenity of the night.
Suspended from a 14 mm hoop, the pendant carries a deep, dark patina, sculpted into the metal to evoke the relics of Alpine mountains.

Each HELMAR is shaped, polished, blackened and patinated entirely by hand.
Micro-variations in texture and relief make every cross unique — no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

🖤 About Blackened Silver (important)

The darkened finish is not paint.
It is a handcrafted surface treatment applied to solid silver, creating a deep patina inside all recesses and carved details.

Over time — through friction, small impacts, and everyday wear — the silver will naturally reappear on raised areas, revealing a living, evolving surface.

Your HELMAR will age like a true relic.

A care guide is included with every piece, explaining how to easily re-darken your jewelry at home if you wish to revive the deep black finish.
