Frequently asked questions

What is in this collection?
Everything STRUGA makes: bracelets, rings, chains, necklaces, earrings and ear cuffs — from minimal to heavy form, from delicate to industrial. Every object is 925 sterling silver, made by hand in Bali. This is the place to see the full lineup before stepping into a specific world or family.

Are Living Silver and oxidation the same thing?
No. Living Silver is a property: 925 sterling silver with no rhodium plating, so it darkens on its own over time as you wear it. Oxidation is a technique: the surface is darkened deliberately during the making. One comes from wearing, the other is applied in the workshop. Either way the silver is 925 all the way through — there is no coating to chip off.

Are a world and a family the same thing?
No. A world is a broad direction: CODEX, RITUAL, LAB, DARK UNION, ISLAND ARTIFACTS. A family lives inside a world — BLADE, THORN and BRUTALISM, for example, are families within CODEX. This collection mixes objects from all worlds and families, so both levels sit side by side here.

Are THORN and the Thorn Amulet the same thing?
No. THORN is a family within the CODEX world. The Thorn Amulet is a distinct type within the AMULET family, which belongs to RITUAL. Same word, different places in the catalog. Go by an object's world and family, not the name alone.

Does the silver need special care?
925 sterling silver darkens over time as it is worn — that is expected, not a defect. On Living Silver objects this patina builds into a wear map, different for every owner. If you prefer the lighter tone, the patina can be polished back. There is no plating to wear through — the silver is solid all the way down.
