Raw Stone Earrings & Necklaces in Silver — STRUGA AMULET

AMULET is STRUGA’s family of earrings and necklaces built around raw, wild-growth stones. The crystal keeps its own shape; silver holds it on the body. Each piece has its own stone contour, colour and surface.

In the Classic Amulet Stud (M), the stone sits close to the lobe: the piece weighs 3 g. In Thorn Amulet Earring #19, green tourmaline sits inside an open silver body: 5.4 g. Both pieces have sold; their pages show how the models are built.

AMULET is an open STRUGA family of raw stones set in 925 silver, within the RITUAL world. Classic Amulet and Thorn Amulet are its flagship models; tourmaline, aquamarine and quartz are stones. Forms include earrings, studs, pendants and bracelets. Each piece is one of one. A sold piece can start a request for a similar work, with a different stone.

The wild-growth stone

AMULET uses raw stones. They are not faceted into standard gem shapes. The crystal’s visible shape, chips and inclusions remain part of the piece. A maker selects an individual stone and builds the silver around it. The metal lets you recognise the model; the stone inside lets you recognise the piece.

A tourmaline crystal can carry more than one colour. GIA links these colour zones to changes in trace elements as the crystal grows. This gives you a way to look at the stone in parts: a shift in colour belongs to the crystal itself. It need not have the even tone of a paint sample.

Aquamarine is a different case: GIA defines it as a blue to green-blue variety of beryl. The family also includes quartz, heliodor and other stones. A material name belongs to a specific piece, not to all of AMULET. For example, the rock crystal in the Classic necklace is clear quartz. Colour alone cannot identify every pale stone as quartz.

The model gives the form; the stone gives the piece

Classic Amulet and Thorn Amulet are AMULET’s two flagship models. Classic Amulet gathers silver into a restrained cylinder around a stone. In the stud, that body is reduced to a seat close to the lobe; in the pendant, it holds the stone on a chain. Thorn Amulet opens the body with a cut along its length. Stones change within each model, so two pieces can share a recognisable silver form and have different characters.

The amulets of this family differ widely — from quiet and classic, a Japanese reading of minimalism, to large and declarative.

Quartz, tourmaline and aquamarine name the stone. They are not extra models alongside Classic Amulet and Thorn Amulet. The family remains open: the wild-growth stone unites it. Its forms include earrings, studs, pendants and bracelets. The works shown in the collection change; the number of product pages does not define the family’s limits.

Thorn Amulet: the cut and the crystal

The most expressive is the THORN amulet: a halved-torpedo form with a crystal grown inside; an homage to Daniel Arsham.

This describes the image of the form. At the bench, an existing crystal is set into silver. In Thorn Amulet Earring #19, green tourmaline fills the open part of the body; oxidation darkens the metal. In Thorn Amulet Necklace #1, the same idea moves onto a chain. It has a light Living Silver surface that darkens over time.

Thorn Amulet belongs to AMULET in RITUAL. The separate THORN family belongs to CODEX and gives it the related thorn form. A raw, wild-growth stone inside the open body helps distinguish the two. The pages on oxidized silver and Living Silver explain the difference between a deliberately dark finish and the gradual darkening of light silver.

A personal mark in the RITUAL world

AMULET lives in RITUAL, where an object can become a personal mark. Meaning grows through a person’s relationship with the piece: choosing it, wearing it, remembering it. STRUGA describes the stone through material and form. It does not promise protection or another effect.

Master silversmiths in Bali make the pieces for the international store. They cast the silver form and finish it by hand; each stone is chosen individually. A finished amulet joins a repeatable process in metal with one specific crystal. Once sold, that piece stays in the archive. A similar work continues the model with a stone of its own.

AMULET shares RITUAL with CARBON and MOSAIC. Each family works with material in a different way. The wild-growth stone defines AMULET’s place among them. The STRUGA journal guide to amulet jewellery explores the word and the boundary between a symbol and a promise.

Choose a ready piece or request a similar one

Start with a specific piece: its photographs, stone, size and weight. A stud stays close to the lobe; a pendant brings the stone onto the chest. For an earring, check whether it is sold singly. For a necklace, check the chain length and where the pendant sits. Those details belong to the piece on its product page. A shared model name does not make them the same for another work.

If the piece you like has sold, request a similar amulet. Keep its link and say what you want to retain: the form, the stone’s colour or the way it is worn. The workshop will confirm which stones are available and what can be made. The new stone will differ from the original. Feasibility and timing are agreed after that discussion.

For a new form beyond an existing work, use Custom Order. It is a separate project with its own stone selection and design. To explore the family, start with the AMULET collection. Check each piece’s page for its status; sold works remain in the archive.
