Sterling silver
Engraved sterling bands, rosary pendants, dagger charms and heavy curb chains.
Sterling silver is silver mixed with a small share of copper or another metal, which makes it hard enough to wear, and here it comes as heavy Chrome Hearts rings, pendants and bracelets. Cuban link bracelets, wide bands and dagger pendants add weight to wool coats or washed cotton tees. It darkens with time as a black tarnish forms.
Chrome Hearts began in a Los Angeles garage in the late eighties, where Richard Stark, the leather maker John Bowman and the jeweller Leonard Kamhout made leather riding gear for the city's motorcycle scene. The label became known above all for silver, gold and diamond jewelry. The pieces here carry its dagger, heart and fleur de lis designs.
Wear a thick band with simple wool trousers, or layer a pendant over an open collar shirt. Utopia in Toronto brings every piece here: Chrome Hearts rings, pendants and Cuban link bracelets, many of them pre owned or lightly used.
