Frequently asked questions
Is this a pair of earrings or a single one?
This is a single mono-earring, for one ear. The Thorn Amulet is worn solo, as one accent. The earring is 5.4 grams of 925 sterling silver, size M.
What is the stone inside, and can I choose a different one?
Inside sits an uncut, wild-growth grey tourmaline — no faceting, no setting. It is the second grey stone in the line: darker than the one in earring #14, closer to the colour of storm water. The piece is one of a kind — there is only this one stone in it, and it cannot be swapped for another.
What is a Thorn Amulet?
The Thorn Amulet is a type within the AMULET family, voiced through the RITUAL world. Its form is a torpedo cut in half, with a crystal grown inside — an homage to Daniel Arsham. A diagonal cut runs through the body, and the uncut stone sits within it.
Does the stone mean anything or have an effect?
STRUGA describes the stone as material, geology and form — not as a source of power. An amulet is an object and what it means to its owner, with no promise of any effect.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 silver without rhodium plating. The earring arrives light and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief deepen, while friction lightens the raised edges. Patina is a property, not a defect. You can bring the metal back to the light with care: a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning liquid. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
