THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
STRUGA began with CARBON. Multi-layered matte carbon: ultralight, unafraid of water, unchanged by time — the counterweight to living silver. The brand has its own line of signature carbon: six Graphite palettes, a CNC aesthetic, cut from sheet material. CARBON was almost never purely carbon — alongside it, with other materials set in, the MOSAIC family was born.
Read the CARBON form story→MOSAIC — the aesthetic of combining materials. In MOSAIC, carbon is joined with silver, with meteorite, with brass, with copper, with steel. One is set into another, joined with a third in a single plane — and a composition of materials is the result.

The longest pendant STRUGA makes: a Classic Graphite carbon fiber bar with aged copper, hung from a 925 sterling silver chain that closes with a Carabiner #1 in the SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC form. 27 grams with the chain, unisex, made to order in about 4 weeks, $250.
Three materials in one object: a Classic Graphite carbon fiber body, aged copper worked into the surface, and a cast 925 silver chain ending in the SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC carabiner #1 — the same form that launched the brand, scaled down into functional hardware. This is the Aged version of Big Line built on silver rather than on a suede cord, so the chain lives and darkens while the carbon stays fixed.

CARBON family, from the RITUAL world — the family STRUGA began with; materials set side by side in one plane is the language of MOSAIC.
Chain is Living Silver: 925 without rhodium, so it darkens with air and skin on its own — the carbon stays fixed, the copper keeps its own dark tone.
Bail is a #1 carabiner in the SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC form — the first form of the brand, scaled to functional hardware.
Patina is a property, not a defect. Care: soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths. The carbon needs no cleaning.
CARBON is a family of the RITUAL world, and STRUGA began with it. The body of the pendant is multi-layered matte carbon in the Classic palette: ultralight, unafraid of water, unchanged by time. Aged copper is set into the surface, so carbon meets another material in a single plane — and that is already the language of MOSAIC. A small engraved silver plate sits in the carbon near the head of the bar. Big Line is the longest pendant of the brand: on the chain it hangs low on the chest, below the collar of a t-shirt.
The chain is 925 sterling silver, 92.5% pure silver, and its surface is Living Silver — left without plating. It darkens from air and skin: the recesses go deeper while friction lightens the raised edges. The patina is a property, not a defect, and the metal can be brought back to the light with care. The copper is patinated by STRUGA itself, with the brand's own techniques, so its dark warm tone is set at the bench rather than left to time. The carbon stays as it was, and three materials live at three different speeds inside one object.
How it is made: the carbon is cut on a CNC machine from sheet material and assembled with the copper. The chain is modelled first, in 3D or by hand in wax; a silicone mould is taken from the model and the silver is cast. The finished chain and pendant are worked by hand by master silversmiths.
Chain or cord: which Big Line to take
The same pendant is sold in two suspensions. What changes is the material that carries it, and with it the weight, the way the object ages and the price.
| Big Line Aged on the chain — this one | Big Line Aged on the cord | |
|---|---|---|
| Suspension | Cast 925 silver chain, Carabiner #1 clasp | Suede cord |
| Weight | 27 g with the chain | 17 g with the cord |
| Materials | Carbon, aged copper, 925 silver | Carbon and aged copper, no cast silver |
| What time does to it | The silver darkens on its own; the carbon and the copper stay as they arrived | Nothing darkens on its own — there is no silver in the piece |
| Price | $250 | $175 — see Big Line on the cord |
| For whom | Those who want silver on the neck and want the object to keep changing | Those who want the same pendant lighter and softer to wear |
Who it is for, and when. The pendant is worn on its own: at 27 grams and at that length it is the main object on the body, and a second chain beside it has nothing to add. It is unisex — neither the form nor the palette sets a gender, and the drop works over a t-shirt as well as under an open collar. It suits people who wear one piece daily rather than a set, and who want that piece to age: within a season the silver goes dark in the recesses while the carbon stays exactly as it arrived. As a gift it lands with someone who already wears carbon or dark silver; the object is large and its palette is fixed, so it is a poor blind guess.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a dark silver jewelry brand founded by Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova, handmade in Bali by master silversmiths. In this object silver stands next to carbon: the chain is Living Silver and darkens on its own, the copper was patinated at the bench, and the carbon bar keeps its matte tone unchanged.

Ask a question →Frequently asked questions
How much does the pendant weigh and what is it made of?
The Big Line Classic Aged weighs 27 grams together with its chain. The body is layered matte carbon in the Classic palette with an aged copper inlay; the chain is 925 silver. It is the longest pendant STRUGA makes.
Why does it bring together three different materials?
Carbon, copper and silver behave in different ways. Carbon is light, water-resistant and stays unchanged over time. 925 silver is alive and darkens. The copper is patinated by STRUGA itself, with the brand's own techniques, so its tone is set in advance. Setting materials side by side in a single plane is the language of the MOSAIC family.
What is the clasp on the chain?
The chain closes with a #1 clasp shaped as SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC — the first form of the brand, the form STRUGA began with, scaled down to functional hardware. The Aged version is built on a silver chain rather than a cord.
Why does the silver darken, and how do you care for it?
The chain is Living Silver — 925 silver without rhodium plating. It arrives light and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief deepen while friction lightens the raised edges. The 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 solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths. The carbon needs no cleaning — it does not change.
What is the CARBON family?
CARBON is a STRUGA family from the RITUAL world, and the brand began with it. It is layered matte carbon in a CNC aesthetic: light, water-resistant, unchanging — a counterweight to living silver. It is almost never purely carbon: other materials are set into the carbon, and that is how the MOSAIC family takes shape alongside it.
