Care instructions
Sterling silver develops a natural patina over time. Avoid chlorine, salt water, hot springs and household chemicals, and if the piece gets wet, dry it before storing. Use a silver polishing cloth gently on plain, polished silver, never on details darkened on purpose.
Stones and pearls come first: keep them out of showers, baths, pools and the sea, and never soak them or clean them with steam or ultrasound.
Store each piece on its own, in its pouch. The full care guide
Smiling Gargoyle
Smiling Gargoyle is a powerful talismanic ring that blends protective symbolism with surrealist design.
At its center is a hand-sculpted gargoyle face—smiling, and coated in shimmering pyrite crystals.
Throughout mythology and architecture, gargoyles have been guardians of sacred spaces, shielding against evil spirits. This smiling version transforms the motif into a more mysterious presence—watchful, knowing, yet inviting.
The silver band beneath it is abstractly braided, flattened and forged by hand to create an organic, otherworldly shape—part vine, part ancient armor. Pyrite is believed to shield against negativity and strengthen one’s energy field, making this ring a potent symbol of strength, humor, and defense.
From a 1600s sea fortress
Surrealium is housed within Vaxholms Kastell, a stone fortress at the gateway to Stockholm's archipelago.
