THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
One-of-one ritual amulets — earrings and necklaces built around a raw, wild-growth natural stone. The Amulet family spans two models: the Thorn frame and the Classic cylinder. Every piece is unique in stone, colour, and character.

Raw aquamarine held inside a split silver torpedo — the first Thorn Amulet in the series, in medium size.
Thorn Amulet #1 opens the series: a M-size Thorn frame cast in 925 silver, split open to let a raw aquamarine sit inside the cut. Each stone is hand-picked — no two repeat. THORN design code — sharp planes born from the brand's first CNC experiments, now drawn in volume. Living Silver finish — recesses darken, raised planes stay bright.
A ritual object for one ear. What it reminds you of is for the wearer to decide.
Material: 925 sterling silver, Living Silver finish — a property, not oxidation: recesses darken, raised planes stay bright, and patina is a property, not a defect.
Entity: Thorn Amulet, a type within the AMULET family of the RITUAL world; its THORN design code gives a split-torpedo form drawn in volume.
Stone: a raw, wild-grown aquamarine set inside the cut — material and form, never a source of power or effect.
Format: a mono earring, worn singly in one ear.
Care: soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; no harsh chemicals or ultrasonic baths.

Ask a question →Frequently asked questions
How much does the earring weigh, and how does it sit in the ear?
The amulet earring is 5 grams of 925 sterling silver, size M, worn in one ear. The weight is present but does not pull on the lobe. This is a mono format: the earring is worn singly, in one ear.
Is this earring made one at a time, or are there many like it?
Made one at a time. This is Thorn Amulet #1, a single piece: the stone is a raw, wild-grown aquamarine, chosen by hand and never repeated. No other earring carries the same stone.
What is the stone, and what effect does it give?
The stone is a raw aquamarine, grown in its natural form, uncut, blue in colour. It is material and form, not a source of power. An amulet is an object that carries personal meaning for the one who wears it; STRUGA makes no promise of any effect from the stone.
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. Patina is a property, not a defect. You can return the metal to the light with care: a soft cloth or a silver-cleaning solution. Do not use harsh chemicals or ultrasonic baths.
What is a Thorn Amulet?
The Thorn Amulet is a type within the AMULET family of the RITUAL world. Its form echoes THORN in volume: like a torpedo cut in half, with a raw, wild-grown stone grown inside it. It is the most expressive amulet of the family, an homage to Daniel Arsham.
