THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The first form of the brand — and the form that began STRUGA’s central experiment: one form carried across different types of pieces, from a pendant to a carabiner. The aesthetic came from CNC-cut sheet material — sharp edges, even planes, recessed depth. It is the most widely represented form in the brand.

Signature Links V.1 is a chain-link ring in 925 sterling silver, made to order by STRUGA. It is an open ring: the band carries a deliberate gap and holds by grip, not by a closed circle. Prices start at $96 for size 16, and a ring takes about two weeks to make.
V.1 is the first version of STRUGA's chain ring and the reference point for every version that followed. Each link is drawn as a separate element and joined into a single line that wraps the finger — slim, open, lying flat against the hand. A wax model, a silicone form, 925 silver, hand finishing. The Signature Asymmetric is STRUGA's first form, and here it is given in its purest reading: no ornament, no stones, no added mass.
A ring you don't take off. It becomes part of the hand and takes on the patina of daily wear.
Material: 925 sterling silver, no rhodium plating.
Form: Signature Asymmetric, STRUGA's first form, from the world of CODEX.
Surface: Living Silver — the metal darkens on its own with air and skin. Patina is a property, not a defect.
Character: 3D-modelled chain links joined into one line around the finger — no ornament, no stones, no added mass; 2.7 g at size 16.
Care: return it to the light with a soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
Handcrafted in STRUGA's Bali workshop by master silversmiths.
V.1 or V.2: which Signature Links ring to choose
Both versions carry the same form. The difference is how the links are cut and whether they move.
| Signature Links V.1 | Signature Links V.2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Links | Slim and open, drawn as one line | Faceted, denser, standing higher off the band |
| Movement | The line stays still | Links are offset, so the ring shifts with the hand |
| Weight, size 16 | 2.7 g | 2.1 g |
| Price from | $96 | $120 |
| Band | Open | Open |
| Sizes | 16–22 | 16–22 |
Take V.1 for the flatter, quieter line. Take Signature Links V.2 if you want the ring to be felt on the hand, not only seen. A third ring in the same family, Double Line, runs the chain in two rows instead of one — 6.0 g at size 16, from $170.
Who wears it and when
The ring reads as an everyday object, not an occasion piece. At 2.7 grams in size 16 it is light, and the line of links lies flat enough to pass under a shirt cuff or sit beside a watch without catching. The band is open, so it settles rather than grips — people who dislike the tight hold of a solid ring usually get on with this one. The links are drawn as one static line rather than assembled loose, so the ring does not shift on the finger the way V.2 does: worn alone it stays a quiet line on the hand. Stacked with a second band, or worn with a chain from the same family, it reads as part of one line rather than a separate object. It also works as a gift when you know the hand but not the exact size, because a size chosen one step small still goes on. Weight and price both climb with size — 2.7 g and $96 at size 16, 6.0 g and $188 at size 22 — so the finger is worth measuring before ordering.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a dark silver jewelry brand founded by Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova, handcrafted in our Bali workshop by master silversmiths. Every piece is 925 sterling silver, left unplated so the metal darkens on its own; on part of the range the surface is blackened at the bench instead. The darkening is part of the design. It is a brutalist object that reacts and changes through contact with the environment and the wearer.

Ask a question →Frequently asked questions
How much does the ring weigh, and how does it sit on the hand?
The Signature Links ring is 2.7 g of 925 sterling silver at size 16, and 6.0 g at size 22. It sits almost unnoticed on the finger and is made for everyday wear.
Why is it called a links ring?
Each link is designed as a separate element of the SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC form, and the links are joined into a single line around the finger. The result is a chain — and that chain is the ring.
How is V.1 different from V.2?
V.1 is a static line of links: slim, drawn as one line, lying flat on the hand. V.2 is built with freedom — the links are 3D-modelled with an offset, and the ring moves on the finger. V.1 is also the heavier of the two at the same size, 2.7 grams against 2.1 in size 16, and the lower price, from $96 against $120. Both versions share the same form — Signature Asymmetric.
Is this an open ring, and how do I choose my size?
Yes. The band carries a deliberate gap and holds by grip, as all Signature Asymmetric link rings do. Measure the finger you intend to wear it on, and if you fall between two sizes, choose the smaller one — the open band means a size one step small still goes on and sits closer. Sizes run 16 to 22, and both weight and price rise across that range: 2.7 g and $96 at size 16, 6.0 g and $188 at size 22. If you already own a STRUGA ring that fits the way you like, write to us through Custom Order and we will match it.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver — 925 silver without rhodium plating. The ring arrives light and darkens from air and skin: the recessed areas of the relief go dark, while friction lightens the raised edges. The patina is a property, not a defect. To bring the metal back to the light, care for it with a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic baths.
