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.

STRUGA Blade is a black carbon fiber ear cuff in Classic Graphite. It wraps the edge of either ear without a piercing. Weight: 0.3 grams. Price: $180. Made to order in about four weeks.
Material: pure multi-layer carbon fiber, without silver or a metal insert.
World and form: RITUAL → BLADE; an open link with flat planes and stepped corners.
Palette and surface: Classic Graphite, matte black with a mottled carbon pattern and layers visible along the edge.
Weight and fit: 0.3 g; no piercing, either ear. Check the ear cuff size guide before ordering.
Price and term: $95; made to order, about four weeks.
Care: carbon does not develop a silver patina. The cuff is rigid; do not bend it to adjust the fit.
The BLADE form in matte black carbon
The cuff is cut on a CNC machine from multi-layer sheet carbon. Classic Graphite has a dark mottled pattern, without the blue veining of Arctic Graphite. The milled edge shows the layers as fine stripes. STRUGA is engraved along the flat band.
BLADE is the second form of the brand: flat planes and a link with stepped corners. In this cuff the link remains open. It sits around the edge of the ear and holds by its own shape. The form is distinct from the plain band of SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC.
This object is pure carbon, without silver. Its matte surface stays dark and does not acquire the patina of Living Silver. The wider CARBON collection carries six palettes: Classic, Bloody, Toxic, Arctic, Winter and Multy Graphite. This listing is for Classic Graphite.
How it differs from the other STRUGA ear cuffs
| Ear cuff | Form, surface, weight | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Blade Carbon — Classic Graphite (this one) | BLADE link; black matte carbon, mottled pattern; 0.3 g | $180 |
| Blade Carbon — Arctic Graphite | BLADE link; black carbon with blue veining; 0.3 g | $95 |
| Signature Carbon — Classic Graphite | SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC band; black matte carbon; 0.3 g | $95 |
| Signature Carbon — Arctic Graphite | SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC band; black carbon with blue veining; 0.3 g | $95 |
| Blade Ear Cuff (L), silver | BLADE link; 925 silver, Living Silver; 3.8 g | $160 |
Classic Graphite and Arctic Graphite share the BLADE form and the same 0.3 g weight. The difference is colour: Classic is black; Arctic has blue veining through the black carbon. Signature changes the silhouette to an asymmetric band. The silver Blade retains the link form but weighs 3.8 g and develops a patina.
Who it is for, and when
For an ear without a piercing, or a pierced ear where you want another object along the rim. Classic Graphite keeps the focus on the shape: a dark line, stepped at the corners, with no coloured veining. It can sit alongside a silver cuff or a stud. The two materials behave differently: carbon keeps its dark surface, while Living Silver changes with wear.
The 0.3 g weight makes this a small object with a visible outline. Wear it alone when you want that outline to stand out. Combine it with other pieces when you want the ear to carry several forms. The wearing photographs show the cuff on the upper ear alongside a separate lobe earring; that earring is not included.
Fit matters. The cuff is rigid and holds by its own shape. Use the ear cuff size guide before ordering. Do not squeeze or bend it, and remove it before sleep.
