Buy Sterling Silver Jewelry — STRUGA Online Catalog of Brutalist 925 Silver Pieces

If you are here, you are looking to buy sterling silver — not browse it, not bookmark it, but actually take a piece home. This is the page that explains what STRUGA sells, who it is for, what the price tiers cover, and how shipping and returns work. Written by me, Dmitry, founder. No marketing department. No store associate scripts. Buy with the information you need.

What STRUGA sells

STRUGA is a brand of architectural silver jewellery — heavy oxidised 925 sterling pieces designed and made by me, in my Bali workshop. The catalogue covers four product categories.

Mens rings — the core

Heavy rings in three families: Brutalism (architectural mass), Blade (linear, edged), Thorn (organic-aggressive). Average weight 14 to 32 grams. Price band $180 to $680. The bestsellers and the foundation of what I do. Browse the oxidised silver mens rings catalogue for the full range.

Bracelets and chains

Heavy chains in oxidised silver, cuffs in the Brutalism language, link bracelets that match the ring families. Price band $220 to $850. Worn alongside the rings as part of the daily layering system.

Necklaces and pendants

Pendants in the Thorn and Brutalism languages, hung on heavy chains. Some pieces with stones, most clean silver. Price band $260 to $920. The neck position in the daily system.

Custom and engagement

Commissioned pieces. Engagement rings, wedding bands, custom one-offs in any of the families. Sketches and 3D modelling included. Price band $280 to $1,550. See design your own ring for the process or proposal rings for the engagement-specific guide.

Why buy from STRUGA

There are many places to buy sterling silver. The reasons to buy from me, specifically:

I am the maker

You are not buying from a brand built on marketing. You are buying from the person who designed and finishes every piece. When you email STRUGA, you reach me. When you have a question about a ring, the answer comes from the workshop, not a script. This matters more than people realise — most jewellery brands are not maker-led, and the difference shows up in every interaction.

Living Silver — uncoated, oxidised, real

My pieces are not rhodium-plated, not lacquered, not chemically polished to be inert. They are heavy oxidised silver that ages with you. Edges soften. Recesses darken. Polished planes pick up the small history of how you live. This is the philosophy I built the brand around — pieces that record rather than freeze.

Bali workshop, hand-finished

Every piece is finished by hand in my Bali workshop. Files, sandpaper progressions, hand-applied oxidation, hand-buffed highlights. No CNC polishing, no chemical baths. The marks of the human who made it are part of the piece on purpose.

Architectural language, not decorative

STRUGA is not a brand for delicate dainty pieces. The visual language is heavy, planar, deliberate. If you respond to brutalist architecture, industrial design, or the work of sculptors who treat metal as form rather than ornament, this is your brand. If you want something ornamental and intricate, I am not your jeweller and I will tell you that directly.

Price tiers — what each one covers

I am direct about pricing. Here is what each band of the catalogue actually delivers.

$80–$180 — entry pieces

Smaller silver pieces. Light bracelets, pendant-only purchases (without chain), simpler ring designs in the Blade family. Heavy 925 silver, the same Living Silver finish as everything else, smaller mass. Good first piece if you are testing whether STRUGA's language fits your wear.

$180–$320 — daily anchor pieces

The core mens rings. Brutalism bands, mid-weight Blade and Thorn rings, heavy chains. This is where most first-time buyers land. Average weight 14 to 22 grams. Built for daily wear, decades of life.

$320–$580 — heavyweight signature

Larger Brutalism statement rings, sculptural Thorn pieces, heavy cuffs and bracelets, statement chains. Average weight 22 to 32 grams. The pieces that read as architecture on the body.

$580–$920 — multi-piece sets and stoned pieces

Rings with stones (black diamonds, hand-cut sapphires, meteorite inlays), multi-piece compositions, the more complex Heart and Asymmetric pieces. Engagement-grade.

$920–$1,550 — custom and high-end commissions

Bespoke commissions, multi-stone engagement rings, complex Heart pieces, full custom one-offs. Quoted individually. See design your own ring for how the process works.

Sizing — getting it right before you buy

A ring that does not fit is not a ring. Get the size right before ordering. Here are the methods that actually work.

Method 1 — measure an existing ring

If you own a ring that fits the finger you want a STRUGA piece for, measure its inner diameter in millimetres. Use a precision caliper or the ring sizing chart on every product page. This is the most accurate method.

Method 2 — sizing kit

I send a free sizing kit to anywhere in the world. Plastic test rings in standard sizes. You wear them for 48 hours including sleep, take measurements at three points in the day (fingers swell in the afternoon, shrink in the morning), and report back. Email me before ordering if you want a kit.

Method 3 — print the chart

Every ring product page has a printable sizing chart. Print at exactly 100% scale, place an existing ring on the chart, match the inner edge to the marked diameter. Less accurate than the other two methods but works in a pinch.

Avoid string-around-the-finger methods. They are wildly inaccurate. Avoid measuring at the wrong time of day — your fingers are smaller in the morning and larger in the evening. Measure at three points across a day if you can.

Shipping — how it works

STRUGA ships worldwide from Bali. The carrier depends on destination — DHL, FedEx, or local express services. Tracking number provided on every order.

Returns and exchanges

Standard pieces from the catalogue are returnable within 30 days of delivery. The piece must be in unworn condition with original packaging. Refund covers the piece price; original shipping is non-refundable; return shipping is the buyer's cost. Once the piece arrives back at the workshop and passes inspection, refund is processed within 5 business days.

Sizing exchanges within 90 days are free for the first exchange, $30 for any subsequent exchanges. Send the piece back, I resize or remake, ship it back. No additional product cost on the first sizing exchange.

Custom pieces are non-returnable except for sizing issues. The 90-day adjustment window applies — if a custom piece does not fit on arrival, send it back, I fix it, ship it back. After 90 days, sizing services run $30-$80 plus return shipping.

How to start your STRUGA collection

If you are new to the brand, the path I recommend:

First piece — anchor ring. One heavy ring in the family that matches your aesthetic. Spend in the $180-$320 range to get a piece that will actually anchor a daily set. Going below that price band gives you a smaller piece that will not feel like a foundation.

Second piece — supporting bracelet or chain. One piece on the wrist or neck position to start building the layering system. $200-$400 range typically.

Third and beyond — at your pace. Add pieces as the daily set asks for them. There is no rush. The point is pieces that integrate into a system, not collection for its own sake.

If you want to skip the gradual build and commission a custom anchor piece, see design your own ring. If you are buying for an engagement, see proposal rings or dark union.

FAQ — buying STRUGA silver

Is STRUGA real 925 silver?

Yes. Every piece is solid 925 sterling silver. No silver-coated base metals, no silver fill, no plating. Hallmarked.

How long do orders take?

In-stock pieces ship within 3 business days. Made-to-order pieces (most of the catalogue) take 7-14 business days to make, then ship. Custom commissions take 2-4 weeks. Each product page shows the specific timing.

Can I see the piece before paying?

For custom commissions, yes — sketches, 3D models, video before shipping. For catalogue pieces, no — the photos on each product page are accurate, and the return policy covers buyer's-remorse returns within 30 days.

What payment methods?

Card payments via Shopify checkout (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover). Apple Pay, Google Pay. Bank transfer for orders over $1,000. Crypto for orders over $500 by request — email before ordering.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes — Shop Pay Installments for orders between $50 and $1,000 in the USA. Other markets vary. Click the Shop Pay logo at checkout to see options.

Do you offer gift wrapping?

Every piece ships in a presentation box. Add a handwritten card by leaving a note at checkout. For special occasions, see the gift from Bali guide.

Is silver hypoallergenic?

Solid 925 sterling silver is hypoallergenic for most people. The 7.5% alloy that is not silver is typically copper, which a small percentage of people react to. If you have known nickel allergies, sterling silver is fine. If you have known copper sensitivity, message me before ordering and I will route you to specific pieces.

Can I see other custom work you have done?

Most custom work stays private at client request. I keep a portfolio of pieces I am authorised to share — ask in your enquiry email.
