THE STORY OF THIS PIECE
The first form of the brand — and the form that began STRUGA’s central experiment: one form carried across different types of pieces, from a pendant to a carabiner. The aesthetic came from CNC-cut sheet material — sharp edges, even planes, recessed depth. It is the most widely represented form in the brand.
Read the SIGNATURE ASYMMETRIC 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 matte black surface, rounded outer corners and straight ends are visible in the product photographs; fine layers run along the edge. STRUGA is engraved on the outer face.
Material: multilayer carbon fiber; no silver insert.

One form, two material languages
Signature Asymmetric carries the outline; CARBON brings the layered material and matte surface. This cuff belongs to RITUAL. It is a carbon object, not a silver cuff with a black coating.
Classic Graphite is one of six STRUGA carbon palettes: Classic, Bloody, Toxic, Arctic, Winter and Multy Graphite. The palette name describes this version; the available ear cuffs are shown in the ear cuff collection.

Who it is for, and when to wear it
Choose Classic Graphite when you want a black shape on the ear without adding a piercing. A black shirt, a bare neckline or a dark jacket leaves the outline visible; with patterned clothing, it becomes a smaller point in the composition. It can be your only ear object, or sit alongside jewelry you already wear. The contrast with silver comes from the material and surface, rather than a second ornament.
For a first cuff, look at the photographs on the ear as well as the isolated object. Weight and fit answer different questions: the catalogue confirms 0.3 g, while placement needs to suit your ear. If the fit is uncertain, use custom order to discuss the object before ordering.
