Frequently asked questions
How much does the choker weigh, and how does it sit on the neck?
The choker is 27 grams of 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).
