THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The third form of the brand — a thorn. Sharp angles, two aesthetics brought together: CNC and 3D-modelling. THORN began as a chain link and grew into a large family: chokers, earrings, rings, bracelets.

THORN compressed into a stud — the smallest silver reading of the design, flat to the lobe.
The Thorn Stud is a single 925 silver earring of 1.6 grams, and it costs $95. The checkout charges the same sum in rupiah: Rp 1,690,000. It is the smallest object in the THORN family — one planar element on a straight post, no stone. Made to order in about two weeks. The price is for one stud: it is worn as a mono earring, or ordered twice for a pair.
Material: 925 sterling silver, handmade, no stone.
Weight: 1.6 g. Price: $95 for one stud, made to order in about two weeks.
Family: THORN (world CODEX) — the sharp-angled thorn form scaled to a single planar stud on a straight post.
Surface: Living Silver — 925 without rhodium, darkens on its own; a property, not oxidation and not a defect.
Wear: mono or paired.
Care: soft cloth or silver-cleaning solution; no harsh chemicals or ultrasonic baths.
THORN is the third form of the brand — a thorn with sharp angles, where two aesthetics meet: CNC and 3D-modelling. In the large pieces the angle pricks the skin and will not let you forget it; in the stud the same angle is compressed into a mark on the lobe. This is not the amulet with a crystal inside — it is the plain everyday THORN earring.
How it differs from the other THORN earrings
Three earrings in the family carry the same sharp-angled form and diverge in two things: how much silver sits on the lobe, and whether a stone is part of the piece. The table is built from the catalogue, weight by weight.
| Earring | Weight | Stone | Price from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thorn Stud, this one | 1.6 g | none | $95 |
| Thorn Earring | 2.5 g | none | $125 |
| Thorn Amulet earrings | 3.5–6.5 g | aquamarine or tourmaline | $160 |
Read the table down the weight column. This stud is 1.6 g and stays flat against the lobe, so it reads as a mark rather than as an object. The Thorn Earring takes the same geometry at 2.5 g and stands clear of the ear, where the sharp angles are visible from the side. The Amulet earrings are built in two parts — a narrow silver huggie above, and below it a small silver torpedo cut open on the diagonal, with a raw crystal standing in the opening. Each Amulet holds its own stone and exists in a single copy.
Who it is for and when to wear it
1.6 g is a weight you stop noticing within an hour. The stud does not pull on the lobe and sits close against it, so it survives a night's sleep, a helmet and a shirt collar. That makes it the everyday piece of the family — the one worn on days when the rest of the silver stays at home.
It also works as a first THORN object. The form is the one that runs through the bracelets, the chain and the ring, scaled down to its smallest reading, so it introduces the geometry without committing to a large piece. And it works as a second earring next to a heavier one: the stud fills the other ear without arguing with it.
The price is for one stud, and both ways of wearing it are deliberate. A single stud reads as a mono earring, asymmetric on purpose. A pair reads quieter and more even — for that, order two. The silver has no plating and darkens as it is worn, so anyone who wants a piece that stays factory-bright should choose differently.

Ask a question →Frequently asked questions
How much does the Thorn stud earring weigh, and how does it sit in the ear?
The Thorn stud is 1.6 grams of 925 sterling silver. It is the smallest object in the THORN family: light, it does not pull on the lobe and sits close against it. Made for everyday wear.
Is this an earring with a stone, or an amulet?
No, there is no stone here. This is a plain everyday THORN earring — the thorn form scaled down to a stud, on a straight post fastening. The amulet with a crystal inside is a separate object in the family; the stud does not repeat it.
Is the earring sold singly or as a pair?
The price is for one stud. It is worn both as a mono earring — a single piece — and as a pair. If you want a pair, you can order a second one through Custom Order.
Why does the silver darken, and how do I care for it?
The surface is Living Silver: 925 silver without rhodium plating. The stud arrives light and darkens from air and skin — the recesses of the relief deepen, while friction lightens the raised edges. The 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 the THORN family?
THORN is STRUGA's third form — a thorn with sharp angles, where two approaches meet: CNC and 3D-modelling. THORN began as a single chain link and grew into bracelets, chokers, earrings, a ring and an amulet. This stud is the smallest object in the family.
