What to give for an anniversary
Something worn every day that changes along with the couple. 925 sterling silver without rhodium darkens on its own: the recesses go dark, friction lightens the raised edges, and after a year the patina is a map of how the object was worn. The date does not need to be engraved on the metal — the surface records it. That is the difference between a silver object and a gift that looks its best on the anniversary itself and only declines afterwards.
The second consideration is practical: a gift should not require a fitting. A ring needs a finger size and that is easy to get wrong; earrings, a necklace, a choker and a bracelet ask for nothing. Eight of the twelve objects here can be given without a single question to the person receiving them.

Why a heart here: the SIGNATURE HEART family
The heart is a popular shape everywhere, which is precisely why STRUGA looked for its own — recognisable rather than generic. That search produced SIGNATURE HEART: one half smooth, one half angular, two different hearts joined into one. The fifth form of the brand.
The family grew in steps, and all four of them stand in this section. First the light heart drawn in the shape of a wire — the Wire Heart. Then the Solid Heart, heavy and fully filled, in a necklace and in earrings. Then the Heart Lock: a classic clasp for a beaded chain reimagined as a heart, and the same lock as a ring. And the tiny stud, the smallest object in the brand, where the section opens.
Price and lead time
From $95 to $570. The lower end is the heart stud, the upper end the beaded choker; between them sit rings from $121, necklaces from $190 and the larger earrings. The exact price, weight and length of an object stand on its own page and are not derived from this range.
The lead time is the same across the section: about two weeks in the workshop, because the piece is started after the order. The work is done by master silversmiths in Bali, and from there it ships worldwide. If the anniversary is close, this is the figure to count backwards from.
Ring, earrings or a necklace: choosing when you do not know the size
If the finger size is unknown and asking would give the surprise away, take what is not fitted. Earrings work on any pair of ears; a necklace and a choker sit at the length stated on their page, and so does the bracelet. The ring is the only type here where a wrong size turns a gift into an exchange.
If it has to be a ring and the size is unclear, there are two routes: write to us through help me choose, or have the piece built to a brief through Custom Order. Engagement and wedding rings are a separate story — for those the brand keeps its own world, DARK UNION, where rings take longer than two weeks.
