Made to order in Bali
DARK UNION Alternative wedding & proposal rings, made to order in Bali.
Dark Union is a new kind of union — stronger, more certain, harder to break. Not a ring from a tray, but an artifact you arrive at. STRUGA creates dark silver rings in the Dark Fashion style — for a proposal, a wedding, or an alternative union.
No exact size needed. Budget and timeline are set before production.
Handcrafted — one at a time
At a glance
Dark Union exists on two registers at once — a world of the brand and a family within it. As a world, Dark Union is STRUGA's made-to-order direction for alternative wedding rings, proposal rings and custom silver pairs — bespoke commitment objects, made by hand in Bali from 925 sterling silver. As a family, Dark Union is the upcoming ready-to-buy line of dark oxidized pieces, in preparation now. Two layers of one union: one made to your pair, one made to be picked up.
Two ways in
Choose the form of the union
Start with the moment: one ring for the proposal, or two rings for the union itself.
01 — Proposal
One ring for the proposal
For the moment everything turns. A proposal ring built to carry intention, character, and the full weight of the answer.
- Built around your idea and timing
- Minimal, brutalist, oxidized, or stripped down
- Custom sizing and engraving available
02 — Wedding
Two rings for the union
A wedding pair created together — bound in intent, not bound to be identical in form.
- Pair or matching set
- One direction, individual sizes
- Finish and engraving chosen for both partners
Design directions
What Dark Union can become
Each ring begins with a direction, never a template. These are the languages the artifact can speak.
Oxidized silver
Darkened surfaces, edges that brighten as they are worn — a finish that keeps changing with the hand.
Brutalist bands
Weight, planes, raw geometry, and no decoration unless it earns its place.
Thorn language
Sharper silhouettes, organic tension — a ring that feels grown, not polished into something safe.
Bare silver
Less oxidation, more discipline. Stripped to the metal — a ring with nothing to hide behind.
Engraved inside
Dates, initials, symbols, or private words set where only the wearer knows.
Stone or no stone
Raw tourmaline, a single dark accent, or a ring that stays pure metal.

Questions
Before you begin
Are Dark Union rings ready to ship?
The custom Dark Union route is made to order, not ready to ship: work begins only after direction, sizing approach, materials, and budget are confirmed. A separate ready-to-buy Dark Union line — pieces oxidized in advance — is planned and will be announced separately once available.
How long does production take?
Typically 3 to 6 weeks once the direction is confirmed — sometimes faster. Super-urgent orders are considered individually in conversation. If the ring is needed for a specific date, tell us before the brief is finalized.
Do I need an exact ring size?
No. You can start without an exact size. We define the sizing approach with you remotely before production begins.
Can you engrave the rings?
Yes. Dates, initials, symbols, or short private text can be engraved on proposal rings and wedding pairs as a customization option.
What budget should I expect?
Each ring is made individually, so the price depends on the weight of the metal, the type of stone or stones, the complexity of the form and its size, and how urgent the order is. A budget range is set before production begins.
Can I start if I only have a rough idea?
Yes. You do not need a finished design to write to us. A rough direction, a date, references, or even a few words about the person are enough to begin.
