THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
AMULET — STRUGA earrings and necklaces built around raw, wild-growth stones. The amulets of this family differ widely — from quiet and classic, a Japanese reading of minimalism, to large and declarative. The most expressive is the THORN amulet: a halved-torpedo form with a crystal grown inside; an homage to Daniel Arsham.

AMULET is a family of the RITUAL world: earrings and necklaces built around raw, wild-growth stones. Classic Amulet is the quiet type within it — a silver cylinder around a single stone, a Japanese reading of minimalism. In the stud that cylinder is compressed to its smallest: the stone sits in a 925 silver socket directly on the lobe. Each stone is chosen by hand, so every earring has its own: colour and pattern never repeat from piece to piece. In this one the stone is olive green, six-sided and translucent, set in the centre of the face with a silver rim left around it.
925 sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver. At 2.25 grams this is the lightest of the three studs: the weight barely reads on the lobe, and the earring can stay in for days. The surface is Living Silver — silver with nothing over it. The piece arrives bright and darkens with air and skin: the recesses go dark first, 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. This is not oxidation: there the silver is darkened at once, at the bench; here the darkening is done by time.
It is made like this: 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 finished earring is worked by hand, and then the chosen stone is set into the socket.
How the three sizes of this stud differ
The Classic Amulet stud is made in three sizes. The socket, the silver and the surface are the same in all three; what changes is the mass of metal and how large the stone reads on the lobe. The price is the same across the three.
| Size | Silver | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| S — this piece | 2.25 g | The smallest of the three — a mineral dot at the lobe. |
| M | 3.0 g | The middle: a third heavier than S, clearly lighter than L. |
| L | 4.2 g | The largest, with almost twice the silver of S. |
The weights are given by size and taken from finished pieces. The stone is wild and chosen by hand, so individual pieces differ by a few tenths of a gram. Sizes M and L sit in the same archive as this one.
Who it is for, and when
The smallest of the three is for an ear meant to stay quiet. At 2.25 grams the stud is barely felt: it goes in and stays there — through work, sleep and travel. It reads as a first mono earring, where a larger object would speak too early, and it works as a second or third point on an ear that already carries something: the stud fills a piercing without arguing with the piece above it. The face is flat and low, and it does not catch in hair or a collar. The stone does the rest — uncut, unpolished, with no repeating pattern, it stays the one point of colour against dark clothing. Men and women both wear it; the form has no gendered reading. If you already own STRUGA silver, this is the quietest way to add to it.
Worn as a mono — one earring as an object in itself — or as a pair. Nearby are other pieces of the AMULET family with the same raw stones. It sits well with other STRUGA silver.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a dark silver jewelry brand founded by Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova, handmade in Bali by master silversmiths. Every piece is 925 sterling silver. Two surfaces run through the catalogue and they are not the same thing: Living Silver is silver left without rhodium, which darkens on its own with air and skin, while oxidation is a choice made at the bench — the metal is darkened before the piece leaves the workshop. This earring is the first kind: bright on the day it arrives, dark by time and wear.
Frequently asked questions
Didn’t find the answer — write to us, we reply personally.
Ask a question →Is this a single earring or a pair?
This is a single stud earring (mono), not a pair. The Classic Amulet is worn as one accent on the lobe. If you want a second, it is ordered separately — its stone will be its own.
How much does the earring weigh and how does it sit?
The size S stud earring is 2.25 grams of 925 sterling silver — the lightest of the three sizes. It does not pull on the lobe and is barely felt in everyday wear. The fastening is a straight post with the STRUGA logo.
What stone is set in the earring?
A raw, natural, wild-growth stone — uncut, hand-picked and set in a 925 silver socket. In this piece it is olive green, six-sided and translucent. The stone changes from piece to piece: each earring has its own colour and form, with no repeat. The stone is material and its form; we ascribe no effect to it.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 silver without rhodium plating. The earring arrives bright and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief darken, while friction lightens the raised edges. That is the difference from oxidation, where the metal is darkened at the bench beforehand. The patina is a property, not a defect. You can return the metal to the light with care: a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Leave the stone untouched while you do, and avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
How does size S differ from M and L?
The socket, the silver and the surface are the same in all three sizes — what changes is the mass of metal: S 2.25 grams, M 3.0 grams, L 4.2 grams. Size S is the smallest and the lightest — it holds about half the silver of L and reads as a mineral dot at the lobe. The price is the same across the three.
How much does it cost, and can I still order one?
$210, Rp 3,740,000. This exact earring is sold and cannot be repeated, because the stone is one of a kind. Press «Buy a similar one» and the workshop makes a close piece in the same size, form and finish, with its own stone and its own tone; it takes about two weeks.
What is the AMULET family and the Classic Amulet type?
AMULET is a STRUGA family from the RITUAL world: earrings and necklaces built around a single raw, wild-growth stone. The Classic Amulet is a quiet cylinder-amulet in a Japanese reading of minimalism; the Thorn type and the quartz amulets are other types within the same family.
