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 Classic Graphite carbon fiber — ultralight matte form on the ear, almost weightless, fully visible.
CNC-milled from multi-layered carbon fiber sheet in the Classic Graphite palette — the base matte black-graphite variant of STRUGA's in-house carbon language. The BLADE link form translates the brand's industrial geometry to the lightest material in the lineup. Ultralight, water-resistant, unchanging over time. Wears on adjustable tension around the upper ear.
Material: STRUGA's in-house carbon fiber — not silver, not plated. Classic Graphite palette (one of 6 carbon palettes: Classic, Bloody, Toxic, Arctic, Winter, Fused Graphite).
Family: BLADE, from the CODEX world — a CNC form of clean planes and sharp edges, translated to carbon fiber.
Surface: matte black-graphite, colorfast. Unlike Living Silver, carbon does not darken and develops no patina.
Wear: wraps the upper ear on adjustable tension, no piercing needed.
Care: water-resistant and stable — wipe with a soft cloth; no chemicals or ultrasonic baths.
For anyone who wants BLADE's architecture on the ear without the weight of silver — no piercing required.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a brand of experimental minimalism in Dark Fashion, founded in Bali. Founders and designers — Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the ear cuff weigh, and do I need a piercing?
The cuff weighs about 0.3 grams — it is made of carbon fiber, so it is almost weightless. No piercing is needed: the cuff wraps around the upper ear and stays in place on adjustable tension.
Is it silver or carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber. This is STRUGA's own carbon in the Classic Graphite palette — a layered, matte material. Unlike silver, carbon does not change over time: it does not darken and does not develop a patina.
How does the cuff hold on the ear, and can the fit be adjusted?
The cuff slides onto the upper part of the ear and holds on tension — no piercing required. You can fine-tune the fit by gently closing or opening the form to match the shape of your ear.
Does carbon fiber need any care, and is it sensitive to water?
Carbon fiber is water-resistant and color-stable over time, so it needs no special care. Wiping it with a soft cloth is enough. Harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths are not needed.
What is the BLADE family?
BLADE is the second form of STRUGA, from the CODEX world: a CNC aesthetic of clean planes and sharp edges, as if cut from sheet material. BLADE is usually silver, but here the same form is rendered in carbon fiber. Each piece is handcrafted in Bali, Indonesia.
