THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
EXPERIMENTAL — a zone of pure creativity: STRUGA experiments with form and material and steps beyond jewelry, into clothing and object design. In jewelry it takes the familiar things around us and reimagines them — Triple Drills, Mushroom, Pills, BearRabbit.
Read the EXPERIMENTAL form story→EXPLORE STRUGA
A silver mushroom on a 75 cm chain — LAB-world object drawn from the experimental side of STRUGA's vocabulary.
The pendant weighs 11 grams and is cast in 925 sterling silver. Every piece is made to order; production takes about two weeks.
The mushroom belongs to the Experimental family of the LAB world — a space where the brand tests non-obvious forms alongside its signature codes. A wax model, a silicone form, 925 silver, polished by hand. Living Silver finish.
For those who read jewellery as a collection of private symbols.
Material: 925 sterling silver, no rhodium plating.
World / family: LAB — EXPERIMENTAL, the zone where everyday objects are rendered in silver.
Form: a recognisable mushroom, worn as a pendant on a long chain.
Finish: Living Silver — the surface arrives light and darkens with air and skin; patina is a property, not a defect.
Lead time: made to order, about two weeks.
Care: soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
How the mushroom differs from the other EXPERIMENTAL necklaces
The EXPERIMENTAL family holds three necklaces, and all three hang on a 75 cm chain. What changes is the object on the chain and its weight.
| Necklace | Object on the chain | Weight | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signature Mushroom | A whole mushroom, solid volume | 11.0 g | $370 |
| Pills | A capsule and a tablet on one ring | 7.3 g | $260 |
| Blade Pin | The Blade pin, the smallest element | 7.0 g | $190 |
The mushroom is the heaviest and the largest of the three: 11 grams against 7. It works as one whole object, while Pills is built from two objects on one ring and the pin stays minimal. The same mushroom exists as an earring — Classic + Signature Mushroom, 8.0 g, $280.
Who it is for and how it is worn
The necklace works when the intent is one visible object rather than a set of small ones. At 75 cm the chain drops the mushroom below the chest: it stays visible over a t-shirt, a sweater or a jacket, and needs no open collar.
Eleven grams is a weight you feel on the neck without being pulled by it — the chain spreads the load along its whole length.
The form is recognisable rather than abstract: the object reads at once, with nothing to explain. STRUGA does not divide objects by gender, and the same 75 cm length sits on any build.
Wear it alone as the only object on the neck, or layered with other STRUGA silver — the mushroom then stays the lowest and longest element.
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 necklace is Living Silver: the surface carries no rhodium plating and darkens with air and skin, and the darkening is part of the design. It is a brutalist object that reacts and changes through contact with the environment and the wearer.

Ask a question →Frequently asked questions
How much does the silver mushroom weigh, and how long is the chain?
The silver mushroom is 11 grams of 925 sterling silver on a 75 cm chain. It hangs as a long pendant, worn over your clothing.
Why a mushroom — what is this form?
EXPERIMENTAL is the zone where STRUGA takes everyday objects and renders them in silver. The mushroom is one of those forms, alongside the pills and BearRabbit. It is a recognisable object, not an abstract figure.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 silver with no rhodium plating. The object arrives light and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief go dark, while friction lightens the raised edges. The patina is a property, not a defect. To bring the metal back to the light, care for it with a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
What is the EXPERIMENTAL family?
EXPERIMENTAL is STRUGA's zone of pure creation, part of the LAB world. Here the brand experiments with form and material and reimagines the familiar things around it — this is where Triple Drills, Mushroom, Pills and BearRabbit came from.
How long does the necklace take to make, and what does it cost?
The necklace is made to order and takes about two weeks to produce. It costs $370, and STRUGA ships worldwide at carrier rates.
What do I wear the silver mushroom with?
It is a self-contained object on a long chain. Wear it on its own as a pendant, or layered with other STRUGA silver.
