Frequently asked questions
What is the necklace made of, and what does it weigh?
A narrow vertical pendant in 925 sterling silver and carbon, weighing 9 grams. It hangs on a suede cord 75 cm long. Carbon and silver are set into a single object — this is the MOSAIC family.
What is Bloody Graphite carbon?
Bloody Graphite is one of STRUGA's six carbon palettes. A layered matte carbon, black and graphite, with a red line running through it. The carbon is light, untroubled by water, and does not change over time. It is cut on a CNC machine from sheet material.
Will the carbon darken or wear over time?
No. The carbon does not darken, is untroubled by water, and stays as it is — it is a constant material. Only the silver part changes: 925 silver without plating darkens over time from air and skin. So living silver and unchanging carbon stand side by side in one object.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The silver surface is Living Silver — 925 silver without rhodium plating. The piece arrives light and darkens from air and skin: the recesses of the relief deepen, friction lightens the raised edges. The patina is a property, not a defect. You can return the silver to the light with care: a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Do not use harsh chemicals or ultrasonic baths.
What is the MOSAIC family?
MOSAIC is a STRUGA family from the RITUAL world: an aesthetic of joining materials. Carbon is set with silver, with copper, with brass, with meteorite — one inlaid into another within a single plane, and a composition emerges. In this necklace, Bloody Graphite carbon and 925 silver are joined.
