Scarilla

$650.00 USD

A ferocious gorilla erupts from the carapace of a clockwork scarab. Scarilla is the piece that best explains what Monkey Wrench does: two things with no business being together, welded into one object that makes complete sense the moment it is around your neck.

Length 16in 18in 20in 22in

Rings — Wrap a strip of paper around the base of your finger, mark where it overlaps, then measure that length in millimetres and compare it against a ring size chart. Any jeweller can also size you in a minute. If you fall between sizes, go up.

Bracelets — Measure around your wrist just below the wrist bone. S suits smaller wrists, M sits in between, and L suits larger ones. The sizes scale in thickness as well as length, so the piece stays in proportion.

Necklaces — 18in sits around the collarbone on most people. 16in sits higher on the neck; 20in and 22in sit lower on the chest.

The full story

Product Details

The scarab shell is worked with gear teeth and plate seams, and splits open to let the gorilla through. The primate's face, hands and shoulders are sculpted in fine relief, with the fur carved rather than textured by machine. A steampunk necklace with real sculptural weight behind it.

Materials and Finish

The pendant is cast in solid sterling silver and hand-finished with a patina that settles into the fine detail, keeping the high points bright and the recesses dark. It hangs from a solid sterling silver chain. As with every Monkey Wrench piece the finishing is done by hand, so no two are exactly alike.

Sizing and Fit

Choose a chain length of 16, 18, 20 or 22 inches. Eighteen inches is our standard and sits at the collarbone on most people; the 20 and 22 inch chains drop the pendant lower onto the chest, which suits a larger frame or a layered look.

Made to Order

Nothing here sits in a warehouse waiting for an order. Each piece is cast, finished and inspected after you buy it, which usually takes two to six weeks depending on the queue and how involved the piece is. That wait is the whole point: what arrives was made for you, in your size, by the same hands that sculpted the original.
