THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The brand began with CARBON. STRUGA began with CARBON. The first tests, the first pieces were made of carbon — this is the beginning and the inspiration.

BLADE link in Arctic Graphite carbon fiber — a pale matte pattern on the ear, STRUGA's industrial language in cold tones.
CNC-milled from multi-layered carbon in the Arctic Graphite palette — a white-and-blue authors' variant of the STRUGA carbon language. The BLADE link form, translated to the lightest material in the lineup. Ultralight, water-resistant, unchanging over time.
For anyone who reads BLADE as a pale mark, not a heavy one — no piercing required.
Material: in-house multi-layer carbon fiber — not silver — in the Arctic Graphite palette, one of STRUGA's 6 carbon palettes.
Family / world: BLADE (CODEX) — the flat-planed CNC link form, translated to carbon.
Surface: pale matte white-and-blue; colorfast and unchanging — the counterweight to living silver, it takes no patina.
Form: an ear cuff — slips onto the edge of the ear and holds on its own, no piercing, not tied to gender.
Care: water-resistant and stable; needs none of the care silver does.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a brand of experimental minimalism in Dark Fashion, founded in Bali. Founders and designers — Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova. Production: Bali and Stavropol. Most pieces are 925 sterling silver with natural patina or hand-patination; this object is in-house carbon fiber — stable and colorfast. A brutalist object.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a piercing to wear this ear cuff?
No. This is a cuff — it slips onto the edge of the ear and holds on its own, so no piercing is needed. It works on either ear, and it isn't tied to gender.
How much does the cuff weigh, and can you feel it on the ear?
0.3 grams. Carbon is the lightest material in the STRUGA range, so on the ear the cuff is almost imperceptible.
What is the cuff made of — is it silver?
No, it's carbon, not silver. Multi-layer matte carbon in the Arctic Graphite palette — STRUGA's own white-and-blue take on carbon. The form follows the BLADE link.
Does carbon darken over time the way silver does?
No. That's exactly the point of carbon: it's the counterweight to living silver. Silver darkens and takes on a patina, while carbon stays as it is — it doesn't shift in color or surface, and it isn't bothered by water. It needs none of the care that silver does.
What is the BLADE family?
BLADE is STRUGA's second form — a CNC aesthetic worked in metal. The family began with a chain link built on flat, even planes, as if cut from a single sheet. That same link form lives on across bracelets, chains, chokers, earrings, and cuffs.
