What blackened silver jewelry does STRUGA make?

This STRUGA collection brings together a 925 silver ring, an ear cuff, necklaces and earrings darkened during making. Blackening is a choice of surface, not a separate fineness.

Is every dark silver surface niello?

The surface of the pieces in this collection is deliberately darkened during making. Niello is a separate dark material used to fill an incised design. A dark color alone does not identify the construction method.

How is it different from Living Silver?

Living Silver describes bright 925 silver whose surface changes with wear. The pieces in this collection are darkened in advance.

Can I polish the dark surface?

Polishing changes the finish. Choose care for the particular piece, taking its relief, stone and other materials into account. Ask for your model’s care instructions before removing the darkening.

Can I order another identical amulet?

The AMULET earrings in this collection are recorded as one-of-one archive pieces. You can request a similar new object; the stone, feasibility and production time require separate confirmation.

STRUGA · BLACKENED 925 SILVER JEWELRY

Dark surfaces, light along the edges.

STRUGA makes 925 silver jewelry with surfaces deliberately darkened during making. The collection brings together the BRUTALISM V.3 ring and ear cuff, SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC necklaces, and one-of-one AMULET earrings with raw stones. Some objects combine silver with carbon fiber. The surface is deliberately darkened during making; the forms and details are finished by hand.

Start with the Brutalism V.3 ring: flat bars project above a wide band, with light separating their edges from the dark ground.

Three ways to wear dark silver

BRUTALISM — a ring and the V.3 ear cuff with projecting bars. The cuff is worn without a piercing.
AMULET — dark frames holding raw stones. In Thorn Amulet #22, green tourmaline shows through a lengthwise opening in the form.
SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC — represented here by necklaces. Asymmetric Destroyed joins a flat wedge-shaped pendant to a chain. The Signature Cross V.3 has a blackened silver element over a carbon fiber cross and is worn on a suede cord.

See the individual product page for availability, price, materials and size options.

How the surface changes

In STRUGA’s Blackened 925 Silver Jewelry collection, the surface of the metal itself is darkened. Living Silver describes a different state: bright silver that develops patina through wear. Raised areas of deliberately darkened pieces can become lighter with friction; the pattern changes with the form and how the object is worn.

Match care to the particular object. Polishing and tarnish-removing products change the finish; an amulet’s stone needs consideration too. Start with the instructions on its product page, and ask about suitable care before changing the dark surface.

An existing piece or a piece made to order

For pieces currently available to order, catalogue production times range from 2 to 4 weeks; check the individual product page. Archived AMULET earrings are excluded. International shipping is available from Bali; see the shipping policy.

The AMULET earrings in this collection are recorded as one-of-one archive pieces. A new object with a different stone can begin with a request for a similar amulet. The stone, feasibility and production time require separate confirmation.
