BLADE — the Story of the Form
BLADE is not a manufacturing method but an aesthetic — a CNC look in silver. It is the second form of the brand, and it began with a single chain link: two halves on copper pins, soldered into one whole, with even planes that read as if cut from sheet material. When STRUGA says BLADE, it means that look, not the way the metal is worked.
In short.
- BLADE is the second form of STRUGA — a CNC aesthetic in silver, the look rather than the method.
- It began with one chain link: two halves on copper pins, soldered into one whole.
- The form comes in two sizes — Mini Links and Big Links — both closing with a massive Carabiner #2 Big.
- One form across many pieces: bracelets, chains, chokers, the Blade Pin, an earring and an ear cuff.
- BLADE lives in the CODEX world in pure, uncoated 925 silver that oxidizes as it meets the outside world.
- Living Silver is STRUGA's term for 925 silver without rhodium plating; patina is the natural pattern of oxidation — a map of wear, not a flaw.
The second form of the brand. BLADE began with a chain link.
The link is made in a CNC aesthetic: even planes, as if cut from sheet material. In BLADE we mean exactly that aesthetic — the look, not the method. The link itself is assembled from two halves on copper pins and soldered into one whole.
For STRUGA, BLADE is a CNC aesthetic in silver.
BLADE lives in the CODEX world — the everyday architectural form, the DNA of the brand. CODEX is not an observation of the world but a workshop of forms: here STRUGA creates a form that did not exist before and carries it across different types of pieces — from a chain link to a pendant, from a carabiner to an earring. CODEX is minimalism: simple lines, simple yet recognizable forms; contemporary experimental minimalism. No stones, no inserts — only pure, uncoated silver that oxidizes as it meets the outside world. You look at a CODEX object and you see the brand at once.
How the form was born
The story of BLADE is short and precise, like the form itself. First came the link: two halves, copper pins, soldered into one whole. From these links, joined into a chain, grew the brand's first massive bracelet.
Then the form moved across the body. Today there are many BLADE links: Mini Links and Big Links — one form in two sizes. Mini go into women's bracelets, chains and chokers; Big into large men's bracelets and massive chokers. Both always close with a massive Carabiner #2 Big. Thinner, lighter versions have appeared too — for bracelets with a toggle clasp.
The same form lives in the Blade Pin, in the BLADE earring and ear cuff; the BearRabbit body repeats the BLADE link. One of the early points of the story sits here as well: the first two ear cuffs of the brand were made in the BLADE form and in the SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC form.
What the family holds today
The BLADE form lives in bracelets, chains, chokers, a pin, an earring and an ear cuff. On the wrist — chain bracelets of big and mini links; at the throat — chains and chokers; on the ear — the earring and the cuff; and, as a line of its own, the Blade Pin.
For STRUGA the silver chain is a carrier: the brand uses BLADE links, SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC links, pearl-link chains with the Heart Lock clasp and other variants. The Carabiner #2 Big that closes BLADE chains itself carries the SIGNATURE Asymmetric form — the brand's first two forms meeting in one object.
How the form lives on the body
On the wrist, silver becomes architecture. A chain bracelet is a flexible bracelet of links with a clasp; STRUGA carries many of them — BLADE big and mini links, SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC links and the THORN chain.
Around the neck, silver turns into architecture as well. A choker is a short necklace sitting close to the throat; STRUGA chokers read as a line of architecture, not as decoration.
The ear cuff is a self-sufficient form for a single accent or an asymmetric stack. STRUGA cuffs sit in the BLADE, SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC, BRUTALISM, THORN and CARBON families — oxidized 925 silver with carbon elements.
The even planes of BLADE are where the surface speaks. Living Silver is the STRUGA term for 925 silver without rhodium plating: the surface keeps living with the one who wears it — friction lightens the raised edges, the recesses darken. Patina is the natural pattern of oxidation — a map of how the object is worn. The beauty of this silver is in the traces of handwork: slight unevenness here is part of the object's beauty, not a flaw.
One form — from a chain link to a whole family of objects. View the BLADE family.
As of 2026, BLADE remains an aesthetic, not a manufacturing method: one CNC-look form in two sizes — Mini Links and Big Links — both closing with the Carabiner #2 Big, carried across bracelets, chains, chokers, the Blade Pin, an earring and an ear cuff. Every piece is pure, uncoated 925 silver — Living Silver that darkens in the recesses and lightens on the raised edges as it is worn.
FAQ
Is BLADE a cutting or CNC manufacturing process?
No. For STRUGA, BLADE is a CNC aesthetic in silver — the look, not the method. The link is assembled from two halves on copper pins and soldered into one whole; BLADE names the even, sheet-cut planes, not the way the metal is made.
Is Living Silver the same as a flaw or damage?
No. Living Silver is STRUGA's term for 925 silver without rhodium plating: the surface keeps living with the wearer — friction lightens the raised edges, the recesses darken. Patina is the natural pattern of oxidation, a map of how the object is worn — part of the object's beauty, not a flaw.
Are Mini Links and Big Links two different forms?
No. They are one BLADE form in two sizes. Mini Links go into women's bracelets, chains and chokers; Big Links into large men's bracelets and massive chokers. Both always close with a massive Carabiner #2 Big.
