Oxidized 925 sterling silver with that dark, almost charcoal finish, and a single curl of metal that acts like the bail. One side has a bronze-toned strip with a dotted texture, like someone actually tapped it by hand instead of stamping it perfectly. The blue topaz is a faceted pear cut, clear and watery, with those icy flashes when it moves. I like that it feels a little off-center on purpose, not “symmetrical jewelry store” at all. 

The stone is bright but not neon, more like cold lake water in the sun. Blue topaz usually gets tied to calm thinking and saying what you mean without spiraling. The hook shape hugging the stone fits that idea, like it’s keeping things contained and simple.

BORA started with three brothers in Brooklyn, New York, and the work still has that small-studio vibe in the textures and dark patina. The designs pull Mediterranean influences and old traditions, using oxidized 925 sterling silver with bronze or gold accents.
