Two objects hang from the chain, not one. The capsule is a cylinder with rounded ends and a visible seam where the two halves meet. Beside it, on the same jump ring, sits a flat round tablet with a straight score line across it. Both forms are cast in silver and hand-finished to a light polished shine. The chain is thin, cable-linked, with a plain clasp; at 75 cm the object falls below the chest and reads over a t-shirt or a sweater.

EXPERIMENTAL — a zone of pure creativity: STRUGA experiments with form and material and steps beyond jewelry, into clothing and object design. In jewelry it takes the familiar things around us and reimagines them — Triple Drills, Mushroom, Pills, BearRabbit. Here it is literal: a pharmacy form, a disposable and impersonal thing, repeated in metal that is worn for years.

The surface is Living Silver — 925 sterling silver with no rhodium plating. The object arrives light and darkens with air and skin: the score line of the tablet and the seam of the capsule sink into shadow, while friction lightens the raised areas. The patina is a property, not a defect, and the metal can be brought back toward the light with care. How this surface works — on the Living Silver page.

How Pills differs from the other EXPERIMENTAL necklaces

The family holds three necklaces, and all three hang on a 75 cm chain. What changes is the object on the chain, its weight and its price.

Pills is the middle one by weight and the only one where two objects hang from the ring: it is built from two forms rather than one. The mushroom is heavier and larger, the pin is smaller and cheaper. The same pharmacy form lives in earrings too: Classic Pills — 3.7 g, $150, and Pin Pills — 3.7 g, $210.

Who it is for, and when

This necklace suits people who want one quiet object rather than a large pendant. From a distance it is a light mark on a long chain; up close the form is read at once, with no explanation needed.

7.3 grams is a weight you feel on the neck without being pulled by it: most of the mass sits in the two objects at the bottom, and the chain spreads the rest along its whole length. At 75 cm it asks for no open collar — the object lies over clothing. STRUGA does not divide objects by gender: the same length sits the same way on any body.

It is worn alone, or layered with other STRUGA silver — then Pills stays the lowest and longest element. As a gift it lands with people who wear silver every day without taking it off, and who choose an object by its form rather than by a stone. For a different chain length, this is a Custom Order.
