E-0530 — Classic + Amulet Tube
A cylinder of 925 silver holds a raw, wild-growth stone in its open cut. That is one of the two flagship forms of the AMULET family in the RITUAL world — a model is a form, and every piece inside it is one of one.
In short. E-0530 is a model, not a single object: a tube of uncoated 925 silver with a raw stone set in the open end. It is not a hollow locket — there is no compartment for keepsakes, the stone is what fills the form.
The archive of the model holds 18 pieces: 14 earrings, 3 of them studs, and 4 necklaces. Weights run from 2.25 to 40 g. Surfaces split 13 bright to 5 darkened. Every one of them stands at zero stock, and that is normal here.
Stones counted by name across the archive: tourmaline 7 — pink, green and pink-grey — achroite 1, the colourless tourmaline, aquamarine 3 and quartz 4.
Because the stone is unrepeatable, the piece is sold once. There is no made-to-order route for an amulet: the only way to a piece that is gone is Request similar, and it produces a new object with a different stone.
What E-0530 is
The form is a straight tube cut at an angle, and the cut is what makes it work: it opens the cylinder and lets the stone show without letting it out. The stone is raw — grown, not cut — so the industrial precision of the tube meets something that was never designed.
The word «capsule» here describes the shape, not a function. Nothing goes inside: the stone occupies the volume, and the tube is closed around it. A locket for keepsakes is a different object, and STRUGA does not make one under this number.
The base is uncoated sterling silver, so the surface behaves the way Living Silver describes: bright on the planes, darker in the shadow of the cut, and different on every wearer.
Classic and Thorn: two flagships of one family
The AMULET family has two numbered models, and they say the same thing in opposite registers. Classic (E-0530) is the restrained one: a clean cylinder, a quiet Japanese reading of minimalism. Thorn (E-0528) is the expressive one: a halved-torpedo form with a crystal grown inside, an homage to Daniel Arsham.
The archives show the difference in scale as well. E-0530 holds 18 documented pieces; the Thorn model stands inside the family archive of 42. Both are open in stone: tourmaline, aquamarine, quartz, heliodor and others, never one stone and never one form.
One thing they do not differ in: neither can be repeated. The number names a form, and the form is the only part that repeats.
What stands in the archive of the model
The archive is not a shop window — it is the record of what this form has already been. 18 pieces are documented there today: 14 earrings, three of which are studs, and 4 necklaces.
Weight tells the range better than words. The lightest is a stud at 2.25 g; the earrings sit between 2.25 and 5.5 g; three necklaces weigh 9 g each and one large piece reaches 40 g — nearly eighteen times the lightest.
Stock across all 18 is zero, and that is the normal state for this family rather than a gap: an amulet exists in a single copy, so a card that has done its work reads as sold and moves to the archive.
Sizes and weight
Sizes are marked on the earrings, and the archive shows how they were actually distributed: S — 7 pieces, M — 4, L — 2, with one earring documented without a size mark.
- S — 2.25 to 2.5 g. Compact and close to the ear; the most documented size of the model.
- M — 3.0 to 3.9 g. More of the stone is visible, and the tube reads at conversational distance.
- L — 4.2 to 5.5 g. The rarest in the archive: two pieces of the eighteen.
The necklaces carry no size letter: three of them are 9 g, one is 40 g. Nothing in this list is a production plan — it is what has been made and documented, and the next piece follows the stone rather than the table.
Surface: bright silver and darkened
The model exists in two surfaces, and they are not the same kind of thing. Bright is uncoated 925 silver: it arrives light and darkens on its own with wear, in the recesses first. That property is what STRUGA calls Living Silver.
Darkened is black oxidation applied in advance, at the bench. It is a technique, not a property: the tone is there from the first day, the edges of the cut stay light, and it can be applied again if it fades.
Across the archive the split is 13 bright to 5 darkened, and every darkened piece is an earring in size S or M.
What changes from piece to piece
The form repeats; nothing else does. Counted by name across the 18 documented pieces, the stones are: tourmaline 7 — pink, green, pink-grey — achroite 1, the colourless variety of tourmaline and the rarest of them, aquamarine 3, and quartz 4: clear, green and brown.
- Colour of the stone — green, pink, grey, brown, colourless
- Length and diameter of the crystal, and how far it stands in the cut
- Shape — decided by natural growth, not by a drawing
- Transparency and inclusions
- Weight of the finished piece, which follows the stone
All three stone kinds hold everyday wear: tourmaline is 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, quartz is the 7 the scale is defined by. Care is the same as for any uncoated silver — warm water, mild soap, no ultrasonic cleaner and no chlorine.
How a piece reaches the storefront, and what happens after it sells
The path is short and it has one entrance. STRUGA physically holds amulets, and many of them — but until a piece is photographed it has no card, and without a card it is not on the storefront at all.
The card is that exact piece, not a sample of the family. So it sells once. After the sale it stays as an archive record: the stone cannot be repeated, so an exact copy is not a thing that can be ordered.
This is why stock on an amulet card is always zero and why there is no lead time to quote. There is no made-to-order route for this model — the honest route is a new piece around a different stone.
Request a similar piece
If an archive piece speaks to you, STRUGA can build a new object in the same direction with a different raw stone. It will be its own piece: same form, other colour, other length, other character.
Next direct drop
Small direct batches of one-of-one E-0530 pieces are released once the stones are photographed and prepared. The drop is the moment the cards appear, so early access is the practical difference between seeing a stone and reading about it.

Frequently asked questions
Didn't find the answer — write to us, we reply personally.
Ask a question →01Does the tube open — can I keep something inside it?+–
No. E-0530 is not a locket: the cylinder is closed around a raw stone, and the stone fills the volume. The cut at the end shows the stone, it does not open a compartment.
02Can I order the same piece again?+–
No, and this is a property of the family rather than a limitation of stock. Every amulet is built around one raw stone, and that stone cannot be repeated. The route is Request similar: STRUGA makes a new object in the same form around a different stone.
03Why does every piece show zero in stock?+–
Because a card here is one exact piece, not a family sample, and it sells once. After the sale the card stays as an archive record. All 18 documented pieces of E-0530 stand at zero, and that is the normal state.
04How is Classic different from Thorn?+–
Classic (E-0530) is a clean cylinder — the restrained reading of the family. Thorn (E-0528) is a halved-torpedo form with a crystal grown inside, an homage to Daniel Arsham. Both are flagship models of AMULET and both are one-of-one.
05What sizes and weights exist?+–
Across the archive: earrings in S (7 pieces, 2.25–2.5 g), M (4 pieces, 3.0–3.9 g) and L (2 pieces, 4.2–5.5 g), plus one earring without a size mark. The necklaces carry no size letter — three at 9 g and one at 40 g.
06Is the darkened version the same silver?+–
The same 925 silver, a different surface. Bright pieces are uncoated and darken on their own — that is Living Silver. Darkened pieces are oxidised in advance at the bench: a technique, dark from day one, and it can be re-applied. In the archive the split is 13 bright to 5 darkened.
