THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The second form of the brand — a CNC aesthetic in silver. BLADE began with a chain link: even planes, as if cut from sheet material. From links like these grew the brand’s first massive bracelet; the BLADE form lives in bracelets, chains, chokers, a pin, an earring and an ear cuff.

A silver pin worn in the ear, with two Pills pendants hanging from its bow: an elongated capsule beside a round tablet. 925 sterling silver, 3.7 g, $210, made to order in about two weeks.
Material: 925 sterling silver, cast from a wax model and finished by hand.
World and family: LAB → EXPERIMENTAL, built on the BLADE form.
Finish: Living Silver — 925 without rhodium, so it darkens with air and skin (a property, not a defect); friction lightens the raised edges.
Form: a safety pin with a massive faceted head; a capsule and a round tablet hang from the lower bow, each on its own ring.
Weight and price: 3.7 g, $210. A single earring, worn in one ear.
Lead time: made to order, about two weeks.
Care: a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
The form is a safety pin: a thin bow whose point runs into a massive faceted head. That head is half a Mini Link — the same form BLADE builds its chains and bracelets from — and it holds the clasp. Two pendants hang from the lower bow, each on its own ring: an elongated capsule and a round tablet. Neither is fixed: both swing and turn as you move, and the flat face of the tablet catches light differently from the rounded body of the capsule.
EXPERIMENTAL is the zone of pure invention inside the LAB world, where the brand takes familiar things around it and rethinks them — pins, mushrooms, pills, hares. The Pills pendants come from there, and the pin from BLADE. One object built from two vocabularies at once. It is made the way the rest of the catalogue is: the form is modelled first, a silicone mould is taken from the wax model, the silver is cast, and a silversmith finishes the piece by hand.
925 sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver. At 3.7 g the earring is light and does not pull on the ear. The surface is Living Silver, uncoated: the metal arrives light and darkens with air and skin, the recesses of the relief deepening while friction lightens the raised edges. The patina is a property of the metal, not a defect, and care brings it back to the light.
How Pills differs from the other Blade Pin earrings
Four earrings share the same pin. They differ in what hangs from the pin, in weight and in price.
| Earring | Weight and price | What hangs from the pin |
|---|---|---|
| Blade Pin + Pills — this one | 3.7 g · $210 | An elongated capsule and a round tablet on moving rings; the lightest of the three pendant pins |
| Blade Pin + Solid Heart | 4.7 g · $210 | The Solid Heart cast as one continuous polished surface — dense volume, no openwork; from the SIGNATURE HEART family |
| Blade Pin + BearRabbit | 5.62 g · $210 | An articulated creature with a split head, half bear, half rabbit; the heaviest of the four and the only one that moves |
| Classic Pin | 3.1 g · $135 | Nothing — the bare pin hangs from a small hinged hoop that hugs the lobe; the entry point to the series |
Who it is for
Pills suits someone who wears a single earring in one ear and wants a small object rather than a decoration. The two pendants read close up, in conversation, and they answer the first question asked about them; from a distance the earring reads as a thin silver line. At 3.7 g it is the lightest of the three pendant pins, so it works for a day of wear rather than an evening. As a gift it lands with people who choose an odd form over a stone, and with anyone already wearing BLADE chains — the half-link on the pin repeats their form exactly. The clasp is a working safety-pin clasp: the object pins on — in the catalogue frames it is fastened to a sweater. Made to order in about two weeks, delivered in brand packaging with a family card. For a heavier object on the same pin the series has BearRabbit; for a dense polished form, Solid Heart. Anything non-standard is arranged as a Custom Order.

Ask a question →Frequently asked questions
How much does the earring weigh, and how does it sit in the ear?
The pin earring is 3.7 grams of 925 sterling silver. The weight is light and does not pull on the ear. It is a single earring, worn in one ear.
Is this a single earring or a pair?
It is a single earring — one object for one ear, not a pair. This is how STRUGA intends it to be worn: a single accent rather than symmetry.
What are the Pills pendants, and are they fixed in place?
Two pendants hang from the lower bow of the pin, each on its own ring — an elongated capsule and a round tablet. They swing and turn freely, and each catches the light in its own way. The Pills pendants come from the EXPERIMENTAL family, where STRUGA reworks familiar objects.
How much does the earring cost and how long does it take to make?
The earring is $210 and is made to order in about two weeks. The price is the same across the three pendant pins; they are not kept in stock, each one is cast for the order.
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 light and darkens with air and skin: the recesses of the relief darken while friction lightens the raised edges. The patina is a property, not a defect. You can bring the metal back to the light with care: a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
What is the BLADE family?
BLADE is STRUGA's second form, a CNC aesthetic in silver: the flat planes of a link, as if cut from sheet material. BLADE began with a chain link and lives in bracelets, chains and chokers, as well as in a pin, an earring and an ear cuff. In this earring, the BLADE form is reduced to a pin.
