THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The fifth form of the brand — STRUGA’s own heart. A recognizable heart: half smooth, half angular, joining two completely different hearts into one. The family runs from a light heart, as if bent from wire, to the Solid Heart, the Heart Lock clasp and a tiny stud — the smallest object in the brand.

A line of small silver Perlina beads closing on the SIGNATURE HEART — the STRUGA choker that locks with the Dual Heart.
Three lengths, three weights: 40 cm at 27 g, 45 cm at 30 g, 50 cm at 33 g. The price follows the length — $570, $610, $655; checkout is charged in rupiah, Rp 10,160,000 to Rp 11,670,000. Made to order, about two weeks.
Perlina is the small-bead vocabulary STRUGA uses across bracelets and chokers: uniform silver spheres running smoothly against skin, cast in 925 silver and assembled by hand. The clasp is the Signature Heart itself — the same Dual Heart STRUGA uses in rings and earrings, here working as a closure that opens and shuts the choker. 925 silver, Living Silver finish.
925 sterling silver — Perlina small-bead vocabulary, cast and assembled by hand.
Family: SIGNATURE HEART (CODEX world) — the clasp is the Dual Heart itself, half smooth, half angular.
Finish: Living Silver — no rhodium; the metal darkens with air and skin (a property, not a defect).
Wear the heart at the front or turned to the nape.
Care: soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
How it is made: the form is modelled first — in 3D or by hand in wax. A silicone mould is taken from the wax model and the silver is cast. The beads are strung into a chain, the heart clasp is set on the two ends, and the finished choker is worked over by hand.
A choker for the everyday. The heart lies at the front or rotates to the nape — the wearer chooses where the signature sits.
How this choker differs from the other Signature Heart objects
The same heart is carried by objects that sit in different places. They differ by how much silver goes into them and what they cost.
| Object | Worn | Size | Silver | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Choker Small Beads with Heart — this page | at the neck | 40 / 45 / 50 cm | 27 / 30 / 33 g | $570 / $610 / $655 |
| Bracelet Small Beads with Heart | on the wrist | 17 / 21 cm | 17 / 21 g | $550 / $670 |
| Heart Lock Ring | on the finger | sizes 16–22 | 11 g | $160 |
| Small Solid Heart necklace | at the neck, as a pendant | on a chain | 8 g | $280 |
The bead chain is what makes the difference in weight: the pendant carries the heart on a thin chain and weighs 8 grams, while this choker is a full line of solid silver spheres and starts at 27. The heart itself is the same object in all four.
Who it is for, and when
This is a choker for daily wear rather than for one occasion. The bead chain is round and smooth, with no edges to catch on a collar, and it sits close to the neck under a T-shirt, a shirt or a knit.
Length decides the fit. At 40 cm the chain lies at the base of the neck. At 45 cm it drops just below. At 50 cm it clears the collarbone. The heart can stay at the front, where it reads as the focal point, or be turned to the nape, where the chain reads as a plain line of silver — the choice belongs to the wearer, and it changes the piece more than the length does.
It is made to order in about two weeks, so it works as a planned purchase rather than a same-day gift. Those who want the same heart in something smaller are better served by the Heart Lock ring at 11 grams; those who want it lighter at the neck, by the Small Solid Heart necklace at 8.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a dark silver jewelry brand founded by Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova, handcrafted in the Bali workshop by master silversmiths. Every piece is 925 sterling silver. This choker is Living Silver — no plating and no pre-blackening; the metal darkens on its own from air and skin. Pieces darkened at the bench are named differently: Black oxidation. The darkening is part of the design. It is a brutalist object that reacts and changes through contact with the environment and the wearer.

Ask a question →Frequently asked questions
How much does the choker weigh, and how does it sit on the neck?
The weight follows the length: 27 g at 40 cm, 30 g at 45 cm, 33 g at 50 cm, all in 925 sterling silver. The weight is present and noticeable, and the Perlina bead chain sits close to the neck. You can keep the heart clasp at the front as a focal point or turn it to the nape.
Is the heart decorative, or does it actually work as a clasp?
The SIGNATURE HEART works as the clasp here: it opens and closes the choker. It is a classic ball clasp, reimagined in STRUGA's double-heart form — half smooth, half angular.
What are Perlina beads?
Perlina is STRUGA's vocabulary of small beads: identical silver spheres cast in 925 sterling silver and strung into a chain by hand. The same bead is used across the brand's bracelets and chokers.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 sterling silver without rhodium plating. The choker arrives light and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief deepen, while friction lifts the raised edges back to the light. Across the broad surface of the beads and the heart, the patina reads evenly. This is a property, not a defect. To return the metal to the light, care for it with a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
What is the SIGNATURE HEART family?
SIGNATURE HEART is the brand's fifth form, from the CODEX world — STRUGA's own heart: half smooth, half angular, two different hearts drawn into one. The family lives in rings, earrings, chokers, and clasps; this choker carries the same form in the shape of a fastening. Handcrafted in Bali, Indonesia, in sizes M (50 cm), S (45 cm), and XS (40 cm).
