This collection is inspired by Banksy’s street art and the Linkin Park track, «Heavy is The Crown.»
The phrase «Heavy is the crown» originates from William Shakespeare’s play, King Henry IV. In the original, Shakespeare wrote — «Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.»
Over time, the line transformed from its original Shakespearean phrasing into a modern idiom through collective citation and linguistic simplification.
The phrase «Heavy is the crown» (literally: «The crown is heavy») speaks to the burden of responsibility that comes with power.
From the outside, the status of a ruler, top executive, or superstar appears enviable and luxurious. However, internally, that status is a heavy trial that strips a person of peace.
All pieces are crafted from sterling silver (925 proof). The mono earring is available in two variations (silver and gold-plated silver). Some models also feature an inlay of rusted steel, which serves as a metaphor for the self-destructive nature of power.
