THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The first form of the brand — and the form that began STRUGA’s central experiment: one form carried across different types of pieces, from a pendant to a carabiner. The aesthetic came from CNC-cut sheet material — sharp edges, even planes, recessed depth. It is the most widely represented form in the brand.

A SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC chain at choker length, in 925 sterling silver. Hexagonal signature links alternate with faceted straight bars. The clasp is a toggle: a smooth tapered loop, stamped STRUGA on its side, and a straight flat bar with rounded ends that drops through it.
Three lengths, three weights: 40 cm at 27 g, 45 cm at 30 g, 50 cm at 33 g. The price follows the length — $570, $610, $655; checkout is charged in rupiah, Rp 10,160,000 to Rp 11,670,000. Made to order, about two weeks.
A wax model, a silicone form, 925 silver, then hand finishing — link by link into a chain. The clasp is the one plain part of the piece: the faceted outline is carried by the links, and the toggle is left smooth against them — a tapered loop with the STRUGA stamp on its side, and a straight flat bar with rounded ends that drops through it. The surface is Living Silver: 925 silver with no plating, which darkens from air and skin.
Worn close to the neck as a self-contained object — the chain is the piece, not a carrier for a pendant.
Material: 925 sterling silver, no rhodium plating.
Family: SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC, from the world CODEX — STRUGA's first form.
Surface: Living Silver — the metal darkens with air and skin; the patina is a property, not a defect.
Form: hexagonal signature links alternating with faceted bars; the clasp is a toggle — a smooth tapered loop stamped STRUGA and a straight flat bar through it. Assembled by hand.
Care: a soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution brings it back toward the light; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
How this choker differs from the other Signature Asymmetric chains
One link is carried by four objects. They differ by where they sit, how much silver goes into them and what they cost.
| Object | Worn | Length | Silver | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Choker Signature Asymmetric — this page | at the throat | 40 / 45 / 50 cm | 27 / 30 / 33 g | $570 / $610 / $655 |
| Bracelet Signature Links | on the wrist | 17 / 21 cm | 15 / 18 g | $490 / $520 |
| Long chain with Signature links | over clothing | 120 cm | 35 g | $715 |
| Ring Signature Links V.1 | on the finger | sizes 16–22 | 2.7–5 g | $96–188 |
The same form is scaled to its carrier, and the catalogue weights show it. Per centimetre of length the bracelet holds 0.88 g of silver, this choker 0.68 g, the long chain 0.29 g. That is why the long chain reads as a line over clothing while the choker reads as weight at the throat.
Who it is for, and when
This is a chain worn on its own, without a pendant. It suits a plain neckline — a T-shirt, a shirt open at the collar, a knit — where the links stay visible and the toggle sits in the front or turned to the side.
Length decides the fit. At 40 cm the chain lies at the base of the neck, close to the skin. At 45 cm it drops just below. At 50 cm it clears the collarbone and can be worn over a thin turtleneck. Unisex on all three lengths: the difference is the neck, not the wearer.
It is made to order in about two weeks, so it works as a planned purchase rather than a same-day gift. Those who want a piece they never feel are better served by the thinner long chain — 27 grams at the throat are meant to be noticed.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a dark silver jewelry brand founded by Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova, handcrafted in the Bali workshop by master silversmiths. Every piece is 925 sterling silver. This choker is Living Silver — no plating and no pre-blackening; the metal darkens on its own from air and skin. Pieces darkened at the bench are named differently: Black oxidation. The darkening is part of the design. It is a brutalist object that reacts and changes through contact with the environment and the wearer.
Frequently asked questions

Ask a question →How much does the choker weigh and how does it sit on the neck?
The weight follows the length: 27 g at 40 cm, 30 g at 45 cm, 33 g at 50 cm, all in 925 sterling silver. The weight of the chain registers on the neck — it sits close and holds its line. Worn near the throat, it reads as a self-contained object rather than a soft drape.
Is the clasp an ordinary fastening or part of the form?
Neither, exactly. The clasp is a toggle: a smooth tapered loop, stamped STRUGA on its side, and a straight flat bar with rounded ends that drops through it. It is the one plain part of the piece — the faceted Signature Asymmetric outline is carried by the links, and the clasp is left smooth against them. Worn at the front or turned to the side, it stays visible.
How do I choose a size?
The choker comes in three lengths — 40 cm, 45 cm and 50 cm. Measure the circumference of your neck where you want the chain to sit and choose the nearest length. At 40 cm the chain sits at the base of the neck; at 50 cm it drops lower. If you are between two, write to us through Custom Order and we will help you settle on the right one.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 silver without rhodium plating. The chain arrives light and darkens with air and skin: recessed areas of the relief deepen, while friction lightens the raised edges. The patina is a property, not a defect. To bring the metal back toward the light, care for it with a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
What is the SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC family?
SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC is STRUGA's first form, from the world CODEX — the one by which the brand is recognised. Its aesthetic came out of CNC machining of sheet material: sharp edges, flat planes, recessed cuts. STRUGA carries this form across different pieces — from a chain link and a toggle clasp to a carabiner.
How much does the choker cost?
The price follows the length: $570 for 40 cm, $610 for 45 cm, $655 for 50 cm. Checkout is charged in rupiah — Rp 10,160,000 to Rp 11,670,000. The price covers made-to-order production of about two weeks; shipping is charged at carrier rates.
