THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The brand began with CARBON. STRUGA began with CARBON. The first tests, the first pieces were made of carbon — this is the beginning and the inspiration.

Cross V.3 — a Classic Graphite carbon fiber cross body fused with a cast 925 sterling silver signature element. The third evolution of the STRUGA cross.
Classic Graphite is one of six carbon palettes developed in-house: matte black-graphite layers, neutral and industrial — the original STRUGA palette. The cross body is CNC-cut from multi-layered matte carbon fiber, then locked into a cast 925 silver detail that carries the signature. Two materials, two origin stories, one object. On a 75 cm suede cord.
V.3 follows V.1 and V.2 as the growing STRUGA cross series: each version keeps the cross form but pushes a different material pairing. For those who read jewelry as engineered composition — not decoration.
Cross V.3 at a glance.
Two materials, one object: a CNC-cut matte carbon-fiber cross body fused with a cast 925 sterling silver signature element.
Carbon is the Classic Graphite palette — one of six in-house STRUGA carbon palettes; part of the CARBON family, RITUAL world.
The silver is Living Silver: 925 without rhodium plating — it darkens in the recesses and lightens on the raised edges. Patina is a property, not a defect.
Care: return the silver to the light with a soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; the carbon needs no care and does not change. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the pendant weigh, and what is it made of?
The Cross V.3 cross pendant weighs 9 grams. The body of the cross is multi-layer matte carbon in the Classic palette, fused with a cast element in 925 sterling silver. It comes on a 75 cm suede cord.
Is it a solid silver cross, or carbon with silver?
It is two materials in one object. The body of the cross is carbon, fused with a cast element in 925 sterling silver. The carbon gives a matte surface and lightness; the silver gives a cast detail that darkens and gathers patina over time.
What does V.3 mean, and how do the cross versions differ?
V.3 is the third version of the STRUGA cross, after V.1 and V.2. The form of the cross is the same across every version; what changes is the pairing of materials — each version fuses a different combination. Cross V.3 fuses Classic-palette carbon with 925 sterling silver.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for the pendant?
The silver element is Living Silver — 925 sterling silver without rhodium plating. It arrives light and darkens from air and skin: the recesses of the relief darken, while friction lightens the raised edges. The patina is a property, not a defect. You can return the silver to the light with a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. The carbon needs no care and does not change. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
What is the CARBON family?
CARBON is a STRUGA family from the RITUAL world — the one the brand began with. The carbon is CNC-cut from sheet material, and the brand keeps its own line of in-house carbon palettes. CARBON was almost never pure carbon: another material was set into the carbon, and from that the MOSAIC family was born.
