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.

STRUGA Dark Union — a Thorn silver proposal ring, oxidized 925 sterling, handmade in Bali

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.
