How heavy is the Brutalism V.3 Ring and how does it sit on the finger?

V.3 weighs around 10g in 925 sterling silver. It has presence — you feel it on your hand — but the geometry is solid rather than bulky, so it doesn't fight your finger or catch on cuffs. The architectural facets sit close to the skin, and the dark oxidation in the recesses makes the form read sharper than the weight suggests. If you've worn a signet before, V.3 will feel familiar in mass but more sculptural in shape.

What size should I order, and can you make it in a size not listed?

This listing is sized R-0490B-D16, which corresponds to a 16mm inner diameter. If you're between sizes, go up — the inner walls are flat and architectural, not rounded, so a snug fit feels tighter than a classic band. I can cut V.3 in any size you need as a Custom Order, including half sizes. Send your exact size or your finger circumference in mm and I'll confirm before casting.

How do I care for the black oxidation? Will it wear off?

The Dark Treatment is a chemical blackening that lives in the recesses of the form — exactly where polishing can't reach in daily wear. Raised surfaces will lighten over time and pick up natural contrast; that's intended. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, chlorine, and silver dips, all of which strip oxidation. To clean, use warm water, mild soap, a soft brush in the crevices, and dry fully. If the dark layer ever fades, I can re-blacken it.

Can V.3 be customized — different finish, metal, or geometry?

Yes. V.3 is one chapter of the Brutalism series, so the design code is fixed but the execution is open. Through Custom Order I can run this geometry in raw Living Silver (the V.1 treatment), in Dark Union pairings, or adjust proportions for your hand. Engraving inside the band is possible. Gold versions and stone settings are case-by-case — write to me with what you have in mind and I'll tell you honestly what works on this form.

Is this ring suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, it's built for it. 925 silver, handcrafted, solid cast — no hollow sections, no fragile prongs. The facets and deliberate roughness are part of the design code, so small marks from daily use add to the object rather than damage it. I'd take it off for the gym, heavy lifting, and swimming pools (chlorine eats the oxidation). Otherwise, wear it. The Brutalism series is meant to live on the hand, not in a box.

The BRUTALISM design code in its dark version: 925 sterling silver with black oxidation that sinks into every recess and crack, pulling the architectural form forward through pure light-and-shadow contrast.

V.3 is one chapter in STRUGA's growing BRUTALISM series — a family of rings born from a collaboration with an architect who shares the brand's love for Soviet brutalist architecture. Each version of BRUTALISM is its own object: V.1 is the raw Living Silver original, V.3 is the same architectural geometry run through Dark Treatment, and more versions are coming — different geometries, the same design code. Black oxidation deepens what a polished surface hides: facets, chips, deliberate roughness. A wax model, a silicone form, 925 silver, and a blackened finish.

For those who want a dark object on the hand — not decoration, a marker.
