BRUTALISM | STRUGA

Raised silver bars across a broad band: brutalist rings and architectural ear cuffs from BRUTALISM in 925 silver. Made to order: 2–4 weeks, often sooner.

About this section

STRUGA Family · IV

Short silver bars rise above a broad ring band. In the BRUTALISM collection, STRUGA uses this geometry for brutalist rings and architectural ear cuffs in 925 sterling silver.

The collection holds seven objects — two ring forms and five ear cuffs. There are no bracelets in it.

Rings start at $368; ear cuffs at $125. The table below gives the weight and finish of each model.

Every object is made to order with an estimated lead time of 2–4 weeks, often sooner. For the international market, STRUGA objects are made in Bali. International shipping options and costs are confirmed at checkout. One exchange within 14 days after delivery.

Form IV · CODEX world

The top of V.1 is packed with parallel rectangular bars. On V.3, their projecting ends form ledges along the edge of the ring. A side view makes the height of the relief easier to see.

These forms reflect an interest in Soviet brutalism: its lines, volumes and composition. Suprematist motifs appear in the arrangement of simple geometric elements. BRUTALISM belongs to the CODEX world, alongside THORN, a separate family built around the thorn form.

The two rings also differ in their finish. V.1 starts light, with no rhodium plating. STRUGA calls this Living Silver: it gradually darkens with wear. The V.3 ring is deliberately blackened through oxidation during making. The variation numbers do not rank the designs or specify the finish of every object; the large V.3 ear cuff, for example, remains light.

Use the photographs to look at the relief and the table to compare models. The Atlas chapter on Brutalism traces the name, the ideas of Reyner Banham and the buildings of Le Corbusier and the Smithsons. What Is Brutalist Jewelry follows this language into objects worn on the body.
