Kokoro (心) Cuff

Kokoro (心) is a Japanese word that expresses the union of heart, mind, and spirit. This cuff reflects that inner state through layered patina, quiet gold, and a form shaped by tension and release. The bracelet celebrates the quiet drama of surface and form. Hand-formed from steel and fused with 18k gold, the piece is shaped into a graceful anticlastic curve that lifts and flares with a subtle, organic tension. The surface treatment is the true protagonist. A cold-applied Japanese Brown patina creates a richly variegated, rust-like ground, evocative of weathered stone and oxidized earth. This is layered with a sheer white solvent dye that softens and veils the darker tones, allowing flashes of gold to glow from beneath. A final application of white metal wax seals the surface and imparts a gentle, satin luminosity, enhancing the depth and movement of the finish. The result is a truly singular piece that serves as a canvas for nuanced color, light, and texture, and allows gold to emerge not as ornament, but as quiet radiance. product description goes here.

Care Instructions

While the jewelry has been sealed for protection, it is possible (though unlikely) that steel can rust if exposed to moisture. Store the jewelry away from moisture and avoid submerging it in any liquids. Avoid contact with perfumes, sunscreens or lotions. Occasionally rub a small amount of light oil into the surface.
