Genius of Hard Work is a 925 sterling silver pendant inspired by training weights, with a blackened finish. The Japanese inscription 根性 (konjō) stands for grit, fighting spirit, inner strength, and the will to keep going through pain, failure, and adversity without giving up.

You don’t choose what you’re born with, but you choose what you do with it. Not having natural talent or a head start in life doesn’t have to define your future. Focus on what you can control, learn to enjoy the harder path, and become a genius of hard work.

This piece has an intentionally oxidized, ultra-matte finish and is not rhodium-plated.

The dark surface will naturally evolve with wear. Moisture, perspiration, friction and cosmetics may gradually alter the finish and may occasionally cause dark residue to transfer to skin or light-coloured fabric.

Avoid abrasive polishing and conventional silver-cleaning products, as these may remove or alter the blackened finish.
