THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The aesthetic of molten metal. FUSED — the aesthetic of molten metal.
Read the FUSED form story→EXPLORE STRUGA
A cross fused into the band of a sterling silver ring — not laid on top, but grown from the metal itself, with edges diverging from the intersection in the Signature Asymmetric form.
The cross here is neither symbol nor ornament. It is a structural element that emerges from the ring itself: planes diverge from the centre as if the silver had been split open and folded outward. Belongs to the Mosaic family — STRUGA's principle of bringing materials and forms together as if grown into one another. A wax model, a silicone form, 925 silver, and a Living Silver finish.
For those who read the cross as a form, not a statement. Felt on the hand — a heavy ring with presence.
925 sterling silver. The cross is grown from the band itself — a structural element, not an applied piece or a symbol laid on top.
MOSAIC family — STRUGA's principle of bringing materials and forms together as if grown into one another; the Signature Asymmetric form, with planes diverging from the centre.
Living Silver finish — 925 without rhodium plating: it arrives light and darkens with air and skin, recesses deepening while friction keeps the raised edges bright. This patina is a property, not a defect.
Care: soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a dark silver jewelry brand founded by Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova, handcrafted in our Bali workshop by master silversmiths. Every piece is 925 sterling silver, naturally oxidized or hand-patinated. The darkening is part of the design. It is a brutalist object that reacts and changes through contact with the environment and the wearer.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the cross ring weigh, and how does it sit on the hand?
The cross ring is 3.7 g of 925 sterling silver. You feel its weight on the finger, but it never drags the hand down. The form is compact and holds up to everyday wear.
Is the cross laid on top of the ring, or is it part of the form?
The cross is the body of the ring, not an applied piece. It does not sit on top and it is not suspended: the ring's own form is the cross. The ring is a single whole, with no seam between the band and the cross.
How do I choose my size?
Measure the finger you intend to wear it on. Between two sizes, take the smaller one. If you already own a STRUGA ring that fits the way you want, reach out through Custom Order and we will match it.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 silver with no rhodium plating. The ring arrives light and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief deepen, while friction keeps the raised edges bright. This patina is a property, not a defect. To bring the metal back to the light, care for it with a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
What is the FUSED family?
FUSED is a STRUGA family from the world of LAB: the silver is fused, without sharp edges, its surface uneven and molten. It gathers objects whose form rests on fused metal rather than on clean ridges. Handcrafted in Bali, Indonesia.
