THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The second form of the brand — a CNC aesthetic in silver. BLADE began with a chain link: even planes, as if cut from sheet material. From links like these grew the brand’s first massive bracelet; the BLADE form lives in bracelets, chains, chokers, a pin, an earring and an ear cuff.
Read the BLADE form story→STRUGA began with CARBON. Multi-layered matte carbon: ultralight, unafraid of water, unchanged by time — the counterweight to living silver. The brand has its own line of signature carbon: six Graphite palettes, a CNC aesthetic, cut from sheet material. CARBON was almost never purely carbon — alongside it, with other materials set in, the MOSAIC family was born.

The BLADE link is left open here. Flat planes meet at stepped shoulders; the gap lets the form sit on the rim of the ear. Blue veining crosses the black weave, while the cut edge shows the carbon in thin layers. The matte surface keeps the outline visible.
Carbon holds its color without acquiring the patina of living silver. It is water-resistant and needs no polishing. The form belongs to BLADE; the material brings this version into RITUAL.
Choose the form and the carbon palette
| Ear cuff | Form | Material and color |
|---|---|---|
| Blade Arctic (this one) | BLADE link with stepped shoulders | Matte carbon, black weave with blue veining |
| Blade Classic Graphite | The same BLADE link | Matte carbon, mottled black weave |
| Signature Arctic Graphite | SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC band | Matte carbon, black weave with blue veining |
| Blade in silver | BLADE link with stepped shoulders | 925 sterling silver, living silver |
Choose Arctic Graphite for blue veining within the black carbon weave. Classic Graphite keeps the same BLADE outline and changes the palette; its black surface still shows the mottled weave rather than a uniform solid color. Signature Arctic keeps the blue carbon palette but changes the silhouette to an asymmetric band. The silver Blade preserves the link in another material: silver develops a patina, while carbon retains its color. These are separate choices of form, palette and surface behavior. The table compares the objects themselves; for the fit on your ear, use the sizing guide on this card.
Who it is for and how to choose the fit
The cuff is for an ear without a piercing, or for a pierced ear where you want a separate line along the rim. It is not tied to gender. At 0.3 grams, it adds little weight; that figure describes the object, while comfort depends on your ear and the position you choose. Worn alone, the open link reads as a dark outline with blue veining. Beside silver, its matte carbon surface sits against a material that changes with wear. Before ordering, check the ear cuff guide and the sizing guide in the specifications. Choose by fit as well as by color.
About STRUGA. STRUGA is a brand of experimental minimalism in Dark Fashion, founded in Bali. Founders and designers — Dmitry Strugovshchikov and Ekaterina Strugovshchikova. Production: Bali. Most pieces are 925 sterling silver with natural patina or hand-patination; this object is carbon fiber — stable and colorfast. A brutalist object.
Wearing carbon beside silver
The matte black link can stand alone on the edge of the ear. On the model photographs, two carbon cuffs sit on one ear. If you combine objects, choose each position by fit: the blue veining remains part of the carbon surface, while living silver changes with wear.
