In Enri Mars's Imola workshop, this pendant was not designed. It was extracted. Lost-wax casting destroyed the original wax form to birth this spike in sterling silver -- a vertical fragment textured with rough-cut edges and irregular cratering that reads like volcanic glass fractured from a cave wall. The surface is deliberate in its rawness: run a fingertip along the pendant and you trace ridges, pits, and oxidized valleys that no machine could replicate. Each flaw is a decision. Each imperfection is the point.
A vertical seam of black diamonds is embedded into the spike's face -- not mounted above the silver but set within it, buried in the textured terrain like mineral deposits exposed by erosion. The stones do not flash. They absorb light into dark pockets along the pendant's central axis, creating a line of quiet gravity that draws the eye downward. This is Enri Mars's Kintsugi instinct inverted: where gold fills cracks to celebrate repair, here black diamonds fill the fissure to celebrate depth. Suspended from 60 cm of oxidized silver chain -- matte, darkened, substantial enough to feel its cool weight settle at the collarbone -- the spike hangs as a vertical gesture. Primal. Totemic. A talisman cast from the belief that beauty lives in fracture, not polish.
