Why use quartz as the main stone in a silver necklace?

Set raw and large, quartz shows its own growth geometry rather than a cut imposed on it. The silver frame is built around the crystal, so the stone stays the subject of the piece.

Are the crystals in these necklaces cut or polished?

No. Each kept its growth faces and terminations and is set in the shape it formed in. That is also why no two pieces repeat in shape or tone.

Where does the green and brown colour in quartz come from?

Trace elements and irradiation during growth, not treatment afterwards. Clear quartz is the base form of the same silicon dioxide.

How much does a STRUGA quartz crystal necklace cost?

From Rp 15,150,000 to Rp 18,710,000 depending on the stone, each on a 75 cm chain. Shipping is worldwide.

Can a piece be remade once the stone is sold?

Yes. The crystal itself is unrepeatable, but the same frame, chain and finish are made again with a newly chosen stone in about two weeks.

Q: Do these quartz stones have any special properties?

Not that we will claim. Quartz carries more folklore than any other stone, and all of it is cultural history rather than a property of the object.

Q: How do I clean silver jewelry with a raw quartz stone?

Cloth or silver cleaner on the metal, no ultrasonic cleaning. Raw quartz keeps internal fractures that ultrasound would find.

About this section

STRUGA · Quartz Crystal Jewelry

Raw crystal held open in 925 silver, set the way it grew.

STRUGA quartz crystal jewelry is four Classic Amulet necklaces in 925 sterling silver, each holding one uncut quartz crystal on a 75 cm chain. Prices run from Rp 15,150,000 to Rp 18,710,000. Every stone is chosen individually, so no two necklaces repeat in shape or tone.

Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the earth's crust, which is exactly why it is usually treated as filler. Set raw and large, it stops being filler: at this scale you are looking at the crystal's own geometry rather than at a cut someone imposed on it. Each necklace is assembled by hand in Bali by master silversmiths, and when one sells the next is made with the same frame, chain and finish in about two weeks.

Where the colours come from

Green, brown, clear — the variation comes from trace elements and irradiation during growth, not from treatment afterwards. Clear quartz is the base form; the coloured varieties are the same silicon dioxide with something else caught inside.

Each stone here kept its growth faces and terminations. None were cut to a standard, which is why the frame is built around the crystal rather than the crystal ground down to fit a frame.

The silver around it

All four carry the Classic Amulet form: the stone held open, silver kept to a minimum. The frame is cast in 925 sterling silver and finished by hand, with no rhodium plating — the metal arrives light and darkens with air and skin.

What we do not claim

We do not sell energy, amplification, cleansing or healing. Quartz carries more folklore than any other stone, and all of it is cultural history rather than a property of the object. Meaning is something you bring.

Care

No ultrasonic cleaning — raw quartz keeps internal fractures that cutting would have removed. Cloth or silver cleaner on the metal, keeping liquid off the stone. Take the piece off before the pool.
