What is the Thorn Stud made of, and how does it fasten?

The outline is the THORN angle cut down to one flat plate: rounded ends, a narrow waist, and four sharp points — two above the waist, two below. A threaded post leaves the back of the plate. A flat round disc screws onto it from behind the ear. This is a screw back, not a push-on butterfly back.

The metal is 925 sterling silver: 92.5% silver, the rest alloying metal. There is no stone and no rhodium plating, so the plate shows plain silver and changes with wear.

The catalogue weight is 2.92 g. Handmade pieces can differ slightly from that figure.

THORN is the third form of the brand, a thorn with sharp angles where CNC and 3D modelling meet. The family began as a chain link and now includes chokers, earrings, rings and bracelets. The Atlas chapter on THORN and the form story trace that path.

How does the Thorn Stud differ from the other THORN pieces for the ear?

Three THORN pieces are made for the ear. They share the sharp-pointed outline and differ in form, weight and how they are worn.

The stud and the Thorn Earring weigh within half a gram of each other. The choice is about form: a plate that shows the outline face-on, or a loop that carries it through the lobe. The ear cuff is the route for an ear without a piercing.

A lighter stud in the brand is the Signature Heart Stud, at 1.6 g. More studs are in the stud earrings collection.

Who is the Thorn Stud for, and how is it worn?

The Thorn Stud is sold as one stud for one ear. Worn alone, it makes the asymmetry deliberate: for STRUGA a single earring is a statement of its own. More forms are gathered in the mono earrings collection and in the Atlas chapter on the single earring.

For a pair, order two studs; the price is for one.

The stud is unisex: STRUGA does not divide objects by gender. For readers who start with the studs themselves, the Atlas chapter on stud earrings explains how they differ from hoops and drops.

How does the silver change with wear, and how do I care for it?

The surface is Living Silver: 925 silver without rhodium plating. It arrives light and darkens through contact with air and skin. Recesses darken first, while friction keeps raised edges lighter.

Wipe the stud with a soft cloth after wearing and take it off before water or chemicals. A silver-cleaning solution brings polished silver back to light if you prefer it bright, and on a matte surface a soft abrasive such as a Scotch-Brite pad does the same; the patina itself is not a defect.
