Is BLADE a world or a family?
BLADE is a family, not a world. It belongs to the CODEX world and also appears in RITUAL. A world is the larger context a form lives in; a family is the form itself. BLADE is a family built around a single chain link with a CNC aesthetic.
Does the CNC aesthetic mean the link is simply machine-milled?
In BLADE, CNC aesthetic describes the look: even planes, as if cut from sheet material. The link itself is assembled from two halves on copper pins and soldered into one whole.
What is the difference between Mini Links and Big Links?
It is one form in two sizes. Mini Links build the finer bracelets, chains, and chokers. Big Links build the large, heavy bracelets and massive chokers. Both always close with the substantial Carabiner #2 Big. There are also thinner, lighter versions made for toggle-clasp bracelets.
Will the silver parts of BLADE darken over time, and is that a defect?
The silver parts of BLADE are made of 925 sterling silver without rhodium plating — Living Silver. Unplated silver darkens over time; the patina is a property of the metal, not a defect. Wear lightens raised edges and darkens recesses. A soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution can restore a brighter finish.
Where else does the BLADE form appear?
Beyond bracelets, chains, and chokers, the same form lives in the Blade Pin, the BLADE earring, and the ear cuff, and the body of BearRabbit repeats the BLADE link. It is one recognizable form carried across several object types within the family.
Which BLADE objects are currently in this section?
Eighteen objects of five types: 7 earrings, 3 ear cuffs, 5 bracelets, 2 necklaces and a choker. One link form is carried through different objects, from a pin earring to a massive chain.
How long does it take, and where do you ship?
Objects in stock ship straight away. Made-to-order pieces take 2–4 weeks, often less. Worldwide delivery takes about another week. If you need an object by a particular date, mention it when ordering so STRUGA can confirm the timing.
Is STRUGA jewelry made in Bali?
