Frequently asked questions
What is the FUSED family?
FUSED is one of STRUGA's silver families — the aesthetic of molten metal. Pieces have no hard edges, corners, or ridges; the entire surface is rippled and melted. A piece can be made entirely of fused silver, or of fused silver flowed over carbon fibre. The metal is sterling silver 925.
Is FUSED a world or a family?
FUSED is a family, not a world. It lives inside the LAB world, alongside the EXPERIMENTAL family. LAB is the world — a space; FUSED is a method that lives within it. Separate names keep STRUGA's structure clear.
Is FUSED the same as the carbon palettes?
No. FUSED is a family in the LAB world, defined by melted, boundary-free silver surfaces. The carbon palettes are six Graphite lines — Classic, Bloody, Toxic, Arctic, Winter and Multy Graphite — and they belong to the CARBON family in the RITUAL world. A palette is a colour of carbon; a family is a way of shaping metal.
Is Living Silver the same as oxidation?
No. Living Silver is 925 sterling silver without rhodium plating — it darkens and builds patina on its own over time. That is a property. Oxidation is a technique: the metal is darkened deliberately, in the workshop, from the start. The silver in FUSED is unplated, so patina here is a map of wear, not a defect.
How long does a FUSED piece take, and where do you ship?
Every piece is made to order. A silver piece takes about 2 weeks; a piece with carbon is an individual order and takes about 4 weeks, because the carbon palette is matched to the order. STRUGA ships worldwide from Bali.
