Crafted in true 925 sterling silver, ORE represents the raw essence of CBNO: purity, structure, and the timeless dialogue between metal and minimalist design. At CBNO, silver is not an accessory; it is a material of identity. ORE embodies this philosophy with a sculptural approach that feels both modern and ancestral.
The Origin of the Name “ORE”
In metallurgy, ore is the natural mineral from which precious metals are extracted. It is the beginning of all refinement. The name reflects the ring’s connection to untouched purity: silver in its most essential, unembellished state, shaped with precision and intention.
ORE is not decorated.
It is not embellished.
It is refined.
A study in minimalism, density, and the silent power of precious metals.
The Material: True 925 Sterling Silver
ORE is forged from 92.5% pure silver, the global luxury standard for enduring jewelry. The remaining alloy enhances structural strength without diminishing the natural luster.
Why Sterling Silver?
-
Ages with character
-
Carries natural weight
-
Oxidizes uniquely to its wearer
-
Holds centuries of cultural and artistic heritage
Silver has long existed in the design languages of both Mediterranean craftsmanship and European artistry. ORE reconnects with that history, interpreted through a modern Antwerp perspective.
From Ore to Object: The Transformation
Every ORE ring begins as raw 925 silver: heavy, unshaped, full of potential. Through a sequence of artisanal steps, the material is transformed.
-
Melting and casting
-
Cooling and compression
-
Structural shaping
-
Multi-stage hand polishing
-
Final burnish for the CBNO finish
This method reflects the essence of luxury craftsmanship: intentional, controlled, and uncompromising.
The Aesthetic: Structured Minimalism
ORE follows CBNO’s structural design language with clean lines, geometric balance, and a silhouette meant to integrate with watches and accessories. It completes an outfit through quiet detail, never noise.
Antwerp’s architectural clarity and the patterned geometry of Fez subtly influence its design, merging cultural roots with modern restraint.
A Metal With Memory
Sterling silver interacts with life.
It darkens, brightens, and shifts according to the wearer’s habits and environment.
No two ORE rings age the same.
Each becomes a personal archive of time.
Designed to Complement CBNO Timepieces
ORE aligns naturally with CBNO watches. The harmony between edges, polish, and weight creates a unified visual identity between hand and wrist. Both pieces are designed to elevate one another.
In CBNO philosophy:
A watch defines the silhouette.
A ring completes the detail.
Why Silver? Why Now?
In a world overtaken by synthetic materials and disposable accessories, choosing true sterling silver is a statement. It rejects fast fashion and embraces longevity, texture, and the gravity of real metals.
ORE embodies that intention.
A timeless object that matures with you.
