Designer's Note: Craft Insights

The "Nomad’s Basket" (EE-26SSN31) is a visual record of "Gathering and Watchfulness." We challenged ourselves to recreate the supple beauty of a basket in sterling silver, choosing a large 42mm frame to ensure every woven detail is felt. The 20.42g weight provides a grounded sense of security. The contrast of the blue cord and oxidized silver evokes the mystery of the wild plains—a vessel designed to collect blessings across time.

Scenario Suggestions

• Rugged Heritage Style: The 60cm long profile and woven motif pair perfectly with heavy linen tunics, chunky knits, or hand-dyed garments for a deep cultural aesthetic.
• Sophisticated Nomadic Layering: We recommend stacking this with our shorter "Nomad’s Vessel Necklace" (EE-26SSN27). Use the contrast of vessels to build a rich, narrative-driven neck profile.
• Everyday Focal Point: Wear it over a simple dark turtleneck or oversized cotton dress to let the woven basket catch the light with every move, showcasing a refined artisanal presence.

FAQ

• Q: Is the cotton cord durable?
  A: Yes, we use high-thread-count braided cotton cord known for its tensile strength. However, to preserve the oxidized silver details and cord integrity, we recommend removing it before showering or heavy exercise.
• Q: Are the hanging bells secure for daily wear?
  A: Yes. Each bell is securely linked to the base. They are designed for daily movement, though we recommend avoiding extreme tugging to maintain the artisanal assembly.
• Q: Is the 20.42g weight comfortable?
  A: 20.42g represents premium material substance. At 60cm, the weight is distributed evenly across the neck, providing a steady and high-end feel for enthusiasts who appreciate substantial jewelry.

Caring for silver, plated pieces and the rest of the range

Every EnSage piece is handmade, so color and shape vary slightly. We hope you enjoy those small differences.

Which care applies to your piece

Most of our jewelry is 925 silver with an oxidized finish. A few pieces are not solid 925: some brooches, hair pieces, hair ties and the bolo tie are silver-plated, and the Oasis Guardian Necklace is not solid 925. If you are not sure, check the Materials line on the product page.

925 silver and oxidized finish

We do not seal oxidized pieces with a protective coating, so they keep changing with wear. If a piece is left unworn it can darken; that is natural for silver. Please skip silver-cleaning liquids and ultrasonic cleaners. A soft cloth is the gentlest way to freshen a piece. A silver polishing cloth will also lighten the dark oxidized detail, so use it only where you want that.

Plated pieces (brooches, hair pieces, hair ties, bolo tie)

Silver plating is a thin layer over another metal, and it can wear with friction. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing and store these pieces dry. Please avoid silver polish, silver-cleaning liquids and ultrasonic cleaners, and keep them away from chemicals, hot springs and long water exposure.

Oasis Guardian Necklace and other stone pieces

The Oasis Guardian Necklace is not solid 925. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth, store it dry and keep it away from harsh chemicals, hot springs and prolonged water exposure. For other stone pieces, a gentle approach is best: keep them dry and away from strong chemicals.

Cords, elastic bands and bags

Leather cords, elastic bands and fabric bags are not metal. Keep them dry and away from strong chemicals, sun and heat. If you are unsure how to care for a specific piece, please contact us.

Everyday care

• Keep away from perfume, shower gel, hair spray and other chemicals.
• Avoid direct sun, extreme heat or cold, and humid places.
• Take jewelry off before sleeping, bathing, showering, swimming, exercise or housework.
• Wipe with a soft cloth after wearing.
