THE SILVER is the third installment of Schott's sterling silver jewelry collection. Produced entirely from 925 sterling silver, the nine-piece lineup is divided into the "Rancher" and "New York" categories and includes rings, necklaces, and bracelets. The collection draws heavily from Schott's motorcycle heritage, adapting signature details from the brand's outerwear into wearable accessories. Each piece is intended to develop a darker patina over time, echoing the aging characteristics associated with well-worn leather jackets.
Several designs reinterpret recognizable hardware and motifs from Schott apparel. The Onestar Epaulet Dogtag references the epaulet found on the brand's ONESTAR jacket through textured detailing and simulated stitching. The Zip Bracelet recreates the appearance of a rider jacket zipper, complete with a branded pull tab. Other pieces include the Horse Chain Bracelet with horse head and horsebit elements and the Shake Hand Panther Ring inspired by traditional American tattoo imagery. The collection launches through Schott Japan on June 12, 2026
