Where the form came from
BLADE is the brand's second numbered form, and it did not start as a piece of jewelry. It started as a part — a single element of a chain, one link. From that link STRUGA drew everything else: bracelets, chokers, an earring, an ear cuff, a pin. One form carried across different types of pieces is the language of the CODEX world, and BLADE runs the whole length of it.
The link itself is made in a CNC aesthetic: even planes, as if cut from sheet material. The wording matters here. In BLADE the brand means exactly that aesthetic — the look, not the method. The link reads like a slice off a sheet; it is assembled another way. The canon puts it word for word, as the description of a living collection.
The second form of the brand. BLADE began with a chain link.
The link is made in a CNC aesthetic: even planes, as if cut from sheet material. In BLADE we mean exactly that aesthetic — the look, not the method. The link itself is assembled from two halves on copper pins and soldered into one whole.
Anatomy of the link
The BLADE link is assembled from two halves on copper pins and soldered into one whole. Copper here is not ornament but construction: the pin holds the halves, the seam joins them into one volume. What stays on the outside is an even plane — a sheet with no visible join. The surface is Living Silver, sterling silver 925 without plating. The edges the hand touches lighten over time; the recesses sink toward graphite; and the geometry of the link reads sharper.
From these links, joined into a chain, grew the brand's first massive bracelet. The chain is built up from a repeated form: one link catches the next, and the form reads the same along the whole length. A silver chain bracelet, in the BLADE sense, is not a bought-in chain dressed up — it is this link, repeated, closed onto the wrist.
Mini Links and Big Links
Today there are many BLADE links: Mini Links and Big Links — one form in two sizes. Mini go into women's bracelets, chains and chokers. Big go into large men's bracelets and massive chokers: this is the line people reach for when they search for a silver chain bracelet for men, and BLADE answers it plainly — a large link, a heavy chain, a silhouette you read from across the room.
Both Mini Links and Big Links always close with a massive Carabiner #2 Big — the same clasp that holds the brand's other heavy chains. Thinner, lighter versions have appeared too, for bracelets with a toggle clasp. The size of the link and the type of clasp set the weight and the character of the piece, while the form beneath them stays the same.
Its place in CODEX
BLADE lives in the CODEX world — STRUGA's everyday architectural language, its DNA. The same link runs well beyond bracelets: in the Blade Pin, in the BLADE earring and ear cuff; the BearRabbit body repeats the BLADE link. This is how one part becomes a family — one form carried across different types of pieces.
Beside it, in the same world, stand SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC, THORN, SIGNATURE HEART and BRUTALISM — each about a clean line and a recognizable silhouette. Among them, BLADE is the one about the link and the chain built up from a repeated form. For STRUGA, BLADE is a CNC aesthetic in silver.
Frequently asked
What is a STRUGA silver chain bracelet? It is the BLADE form worn on the wrist. BLADE is the brand's second form, a chain link made in a CNC aesthetic, even planes as if cut from sheet material. From these links, joined into a chain, grew the brand's first massive bracelet. The link itself is assembled from two halves on copper pins and soldered into one whole.
What is it made of? Sterling silver 925 without rhodium plating, our Living Silver. The bracelet arrives bright and darkens over time: the edges the hand touches lighten, the recesses sink toward graphite, and the geometry of the link reads sharper. The patina is a property, not a flaw, a map of how the piece is worn.
What sizes does the chain come in? Today there are many BLADE links: Mini Links and Big Links, one form in two sizes. Mini go into women's bracelets, chains and chokers; Big into large men's bracelets and massive chokers. The size of the link sets the weight and scale of the chain, while the form beneath it stays the same.
How does a BLADE bracelet close? Both Mini Links and Big Links always close with a massive Carabiner #2 Big, the same clasp that holds the brand's other heavy chains. Thinner, lighter versions have appeared too, for bracelets with a toggle clasp. The clasp and link size set the weight and character of the piece.
What other pieces carry the BLADE form? The same form lives well beyond bracelets: in the Blade Pin, in the BLADE earring and ear cuff, and the BearRabbit body repeats the BLADE link. BLADE sits in the CODEX world, STRUGA's everyday architectural language, beside SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC, THORN, SIGNATURE HEART and BRUTALISM. For STRUGA, BLADE is a CNC aesthetic in silver.
