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
The Sapphire Octopus
The Sapphire Octopus is a surreal, wearable artefact.
It's a one-of-a-kind sculpture forged into the form of a ring—handcrafted from molten sterling silver into a swirling, dreamlike creature. This being is composed of twisted ropes, serpentine limbs, squared and rounded forms, and silver droplets that suggest motion, fluidity, and something ancient yet alive.
At its crown sits a raw, deep blue sapphire, wrapped in twisted silver, serving as the head of this oceanic spirit. It is as much a creature as it is a myth—a symbolic guardian from the subconscious, pulling its power from the ocean floor and the cosmos alike.
This piece was created by Damian Ardestani, also known as XOV, and it exists only once in the world. There will never be another.
From a 1600s sea fortress
Surrealium is housed within Vaxholms Kastell, a stone fortress at the gateway to Stockholm's archipelago.
