Is EXPERIMENTAL a world or a family?

EXPERIMENTAL is a family, not a world. The world is LAB — the experiment itself. LAB holds two families: EXPERIMENTAL and FUSED. So LAB is the world where these experiments live, and EXPERIMENTAL is one family inside it, alongside FUSED.

What metal is used, and does darkening mean the piece is ruined?

The pieces are 925 sterling silver. The metal is Living Silver — it lives and darkens on its own over time. This is a property of the silver itself, not oxidation, which is a deliberate workshop technique that darkens a piece from the start. Patina is a map of how you wear it, not a defect.

Is EXPERIMENTAL the same as FUSED?

No. Both families live within the LAB world, but they are distinct families. EXPERIMENTAL is an open zone of pure creation — it rethinks familiar objects and steps beyond jewelry. FUSED is its own family within LAB. They share a world, not a family.

Q: What is EXPERIMENTAL?

EXPERIMENTAL is a family within the LAB world — a zone of pure creation. Here STRUGA experiments with form and material, works across styles, and steps beyond jewelry into clothing, interior objects, and object design of any kind. In jewelry, it rethinks familiar things — that is how Triple Drills, Mushroom, Pills, and BearRabbit came to be.

Objects from the LAB world of STRUGA: 925 silver jewelry and the WAGI silk costume, each made to order in about two weeks and shipped worldwide.

A zone of pure creativity.

EXPERIMENTAL is a family in the LAB world — a zone of pure creativity where STRUGA experiments with form and material. Sterling silver 925, Living Silver (the metal lives and darkens on its own — a property, not oxidation, which is a technique). Here familiar objects are reimagined into pieces like Triple Drills, Mushroom, Pills and BearRabbit. EXPERIMENTAL also steps beyond jewelry — into clothing, interior objects, any object design. Seventeen objects on the page now: thirteen in 925 silver, four silk costumes (the WAGI model). Made to order in about two weeks, shipped worldwide. LOCKED entities: LAB (world), EXPERIMENTAL and FUSED (families).

Seventeen objects live here right now — thirteen in 925 silver and four silk costumes. Every one of them is made to order in about two weeks and shipped worldwide.

Here STRUGA experiments with form and material, works across different styles, and steps beyond jewelry — into clothing, interior objects, any object design.

In jewelry, EXPERIMENTAL takes the familiar things around us and reimagines them — this is how Triple Drills, Mushroom, Pills and BearRabbit appeared.

What is on this page right now

The family is wider than the page. Right now it holds seventeen objects, and they split into two materials: 925 silver for the jewelry, silk for the clothing.

Object	Count	Material	What it is
Earrings	8	925 silver	Single earrings and pairs — Blade Pin, Pills, BearRabbit, Mushroom, Suprematism Cross
Necklaces	3	925 silver	Mushroom, Pills and the Blade Pin necklace
Silk costume	4	Silk	WAGI — one oversize model in four colours: red, white, black, beige
Ring	1	925 silver	Triple Drills
Bracelet	1	925 silver	Big Beads with Capsule

The silver here is uncoated. That is Living Silver: it darkens on its own over time, and silver cleaner brings it back whenever you want. Darkening is a property of the metal, not oxidation — oxidation is a bench technique that darkens a piece from the start.

Why silk sits next to silver

EXPERIMENTAL is the family where STRUGA steps outside jewelry, so a garment on this page is not an accident — it is the point of the family. WAGI is the name of one model: an oversize silk costume, a shawl-collar blazer with an open draped back and wide straight trousers.

It is worth naming the limit plainly. The costume is silk, not silver: there is no 925 stamp on it, it does not darken, and it is cared for like cloth — gentle hand wash or a delicate cycle, no bleach, low iron. The silver objects need the opposite: no washing, an occasional pass with silver cleaner if you want the light back.

How ordering works

Nothing on this page is warehouse stock. Each object is made to order in about two weeks — the silver at the bench, the costume at the sewing table — and then shipped worldwide. The two weeks are production time; transit takes about a week on top of it.

If you want a form from this family that is not on the page, that is a custom order and a different route — write to the studio and it will be discussed piece by piece.
