Sterling silver for men who don't need to shout.
Our Story
The men's jewellery market is broken. The big names charge designer premiums for stainless steel and call it luxury. The high street sells plated brass that turns green in a month. And the actual silver brands? Priced for collectors, not for wearing every day.
Heavy Lies makes one thing: solid .925 sterling silver. Every piece over 7.78 grams carries a hallmark from Birmingham Assay Office — the same institution that's been certifying precious metals since 1773.
The name comes from Shakespeare. Heavy lies the head that wears the crown. It's about the weight of real silver. The quiet confidence of knowing what you're wearing is genuine.

After building 7879 into Selfridges and Harrods, the gap in men's silver was impossible to ignore. The established names charge designer premiums for stainless steel. The independents can't guarantee quality. Heavy Lies fills the space in between — genuine .925 sterling silver, hallmarked in Birmingham, priced honestly.
Made to Be Felt
.925 sterling silver. 92.5% pure silver, alloyed for strength. Each piece cast, finished, and polished by hand. Items over 7.78g carry the lion passant — the UK's legal mark of genuine sterling silver — stamped at Birmingham Assay Office.
No plating. No stainless steel. No hollow construction. Pick up a Heavy Lies piece and the weight tells you everything.
Wear it well.
