The torpedo shape distributes weight along the lobe rather than dragging straight down, so it reads heavier in the hand than on the ear. If you've worn standard hoops or studs, expect a noticeable but comfortable shift. The post is standard thickness; most pierced ears accept it without resizing. The diagonal cut keeps the visual weight forward, not pendulous.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How is #21 different from the other two greys in the Amulet line?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Three grey tourmalines, three readings. #21 is the lightest — almost silver in certain light, where the other two hold deeper, smokier tones. Tourmaline is never uniform; each stone is cut from its own crystal, so the inclusions, the way light passes through, the surface temperature all differ. If you're choosing between the greys, #21 is the one that sits closest to the 925 frame in tone. The darker greys contrast more sharply against the silver.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How do I care for the Living Silver frame?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Living Silver means the 925 will darken over time — that's the intent, not a flaw. The recessed areas deepen, the raised surfaces stay brighter from contact and wear. No polishing cloth needed. If you want to slow the patina, keep it dry and store it in a sealed pouch when not worn. If you want to reset it, a silver dip restores the original tone. The grey tourmaline itself is unaffected by either path.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can I order this in the larger Thorn or with a different stone?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes — the Thorn body exists in multiple sizes, and the Amulet line accepts other stones through Custom Order. If you want #21's exact grey tourmaline character but in a larger torpedo, or this medium frame with a different stone entirely, write to us with what you're after. Sourcing a specific tourmaline takes time; we don't promise a match to #21 since each stone is singular, but we'll show options before casting. Lead time is typically 4–6 weeks.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What makes this a STRUGA piece rather than a generic silver earring?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The Thorn torpedo, the diagonal cut, the Living Silver frame around a stone chosen for its specific character — these are STRUGA's grammar. Every Amulet is handcrafted in Bali in 925 silver, numbered, and tied to one stone that won't repeat. #21 isn't a model you can reorder; when it's gone, the next grey tourmaline will read differently and carry a different number. The Brutalism is in the form, the restraint is in the finish.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- struga-at-a-glance v=1 lang=en --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"struga-at-a-glance\" style=\"margin-top:2em;padding-top:1em;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;font-size:0.95em;color:#444;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout STRUGA.\u003c\/strong\u003e STRUGA is a dark silver jewelry brand founded by Dmitry Strugovshchikov, handcrafted with Balinese and international silversmiths.
