Strata Ear Cuff
A non-pierced Sterling Silver cartilage cuff sold as a single piece. Its surface is hand-carved with layered lines — a strata of drawn marks that catch the light and give the piece its name. Available in 8mm (snug fit) and 9mm (relaxed fit) widths, it slides onto the ear without piercings to instantly elevate your ear stack. Key Details

Is this price for a single cuff or a pair?
This cuff is sold individually as a single piece so you can mix, match, and stack across different ears.
Which size should I order?
- 8 mm × 7.5 mm: Best for smaller ears, tight cartilage contours, or a snug fit higher on the ear.
- 9 mm × 7.5 mm: Best for standard ear cartilage or placing the cuff slightly lower on the mid-ear.
Do I need an ear piercing to wear this?
No. It is specifically designed to slide over the outer cartilage curve of your ear and stay in place without a piercing.
How do I put on an ear cuff?
Slide the opening over the thinnest section of your upper ear cartilage, then slide it down to your desired position until it sits snugly against the ear.
Where is this made and shipped from?
Every piece is handcrafted at my Mt Eden studio in Auckland and shipped directly across New Zealand. Studio pickup is also available at checkout for local Auckland orders. Styling & Inspiration
- Design Story: Designed and hand-carved in my Auckland studio. I was inspired by primitive line drawings and lino prints — the carved lines across the surface create a layered, striated texture that plays with light and shadow.
- How to Style: Wear it solo as a minimal focal point, or stack it with your favorite studs and hoops to expand your earring combination without needing extra piercings.
