Ciuma- The Black Plague

Born from shadow and silence, Ciuma is not merely a ring—it is a relic of mortality itself. Forged in 925 silver, weighing 43 grams of solid presence, it carries the gravity of centuries within its form. Its surface, rugged and pitted, feels as though it has endured fire, earth, and time itself—like a bone unearthed from beneath the plague pits of forgotten Europe.

Inspired by the skulls of the plague victims—the fallen of the Black Death—this piece speaks of human fragility and endurance. Ciuma is not about fear, but remembrance: a meditation on decay, on the beauty of ruin, and on the sacred truth that all matter must eventually return to shadow.

To wear Ciuma is to carry the weight of memory, to acknowledge death not as an end, but as a companion. It is a talisman for those who dare to look into the void and find themselves staring back.
