The Ultimate Guide to Ear Curation

STEP 1: UNDERSTANDING THE EAR ANATOMY

Consider what piercings you have and start building your dream ear stack from there! Having multiple lobe piercings are a go-to choice to start with for your ear curation, as there are many earring types to play. If you want to take it up a notch you may consider a new piercing, but you don’t necessarily have to go down the piercing route, with our no piercing required ear cuffs you can effortlessly extend your ear curation.

STEP TWO: CONSIDER YOUR LIFESTYLE

Your ear curation should work for you. If you are always on the go, then select earrings that are comfortable to wear 24/7, and that you can sleep in like our huggie earrings & flat backs. Having a few go-to pieces that are ideal for your everyday, makes it easy to start incorporating additional pierces or a statement earring to take your ear stack from day to evening.

STEP THREE: FIND YOUR STYLE

Make your ear curation a reflection of you & and your style. Mix studs, hoops, huggie earrings & ear cuffs based on your personal style and tastes. Get Creative with mixing metals, colours, shapes and styles – whether you’re all about bold chunky pieces or want a sleek minimalist vibe, the choice really is yours! And that's not to say you have to stick to one style, take your inspiration out of the box and opt for a different look.

STEP FOUR: BUILD A FOUNDATION

Building the perfect ear curation starts with a solid foundation. Look at your favourite go-to earrings and start introducing new pieces. If you love your classic gold hoop earrings then use this as the base for your ear curation, start by adding a dainty stud earring, or a bolder huggie hoop and a few ear cuffs to build upon this existing look. Expanding on your core earring favourites allows you to refine your style and create a perfectly balanced ear stack that feels effortlessly you.

Building a Versatile Earring Wardrobe When building an earring wardrobe, these staple earring types are key to making your curated ear complete. Start with timeless classics then add in more dynamic pieces to build your curation. The base of your curated ear should include some, if not all, of the below:

 Ear Cuffs

No curated ear should be without an ear cuff, they are especially great if you want to extend your look up the ear without the need for additional piercings. You can easily layer & stack 1, 2, 3 or more ear cuffs depending on your curated ear style. They also come in a range of designs and styles, making them perfect for expressing your individuality.

Stud / Flat Back Earrings

This staple earring accessory is an easy one to incorporate into any curated ear. Stud earrings & flat backs are so versatile they can be worn almost anywhere on the ear. We like to add them to a second or third lobe piercing or to add a dash of sparkle or a subtle pop of colour to a silver or gold ear creation.

Huggie Earrings

Versatile and low maintenance, huggie earrings are perfect for a curated ear as like stud earrings they can be worn in multiple piercings. We like to layer our huggie earrings in the second or third lobe piercings or can even be worn higher up the ear in a cartilage piercing. Huggie earrings are super easy to stack and style alongside the main focal point of your curated ear.

Charm Hoops

A great statement piece for your curated ear, charm hoop earrings are a must-have. Not only do they extend your look with a stunning drop they are easy to build upon with your other go to earring staples. Charm hoop earrings can be minimal, bold, colourful or dazzle with some sparkle, whatever style you are going for in your curated ear, we have a charm hoop earring to match.

Curated Ear Inspiration

Minimalist Earring Stack

One of the easiest curated ear styles to create, the minimalist ear stack uses simple sleek designs to create a glamourous yet casual look. Style your favourite pair of classic hoop earrings with a classic tiny stud and slim plain ear cuff, this look will work with any stye and take you from day to night. By selecting classic pieces, you can easily up the ante of this ear stack by adding subtle sparkle with clear stone huggie earrings or a slim sparkling ear cuff.

Hoop Earring Stack

Hoop earrings are a staple in any jewellery collection and the hoop earring stack only has one rule; wear as many hoops as you like! Layer up 2, 3 or 4 hoop earrings in a mixture of sizes. We suggest going from large hoop earrings in the lobe to smaller hoop earrings as you work up the ear. The hoop earring stack can be a classic design or adorned with clear stone sparkle or go bold with pops of colour. What style will you go for?

Mixed Metal Earring Stack

Shake up your ear curation with a combination of your favourite silver and gold earrings in a unique mixed metal ear stack. Play around with a mix of silver and gold earrings to create an ear stack that is totally yours. Stack individual hoops and studs, or layer up with mixed-metal designs for the perfect balance of contrast and shine. This curated ear trend is all about versatility and opens the door to so many styling opportunities.

Caring For Your Curated Earrings

To give your earrings the everlasting brilliance they deserve, we suggest following a few simple rules. One; always clean your earrings using a polishing cloth, when possible, this helps to keep your jewellery shining bright. Two: store your earrings in a jewellery case or zip lock bag to protect your jewellery from scratching, this is especially true when travelling and transporting your earrings. Three: try to avoid contact with harsh chemical and remove your earrings during showers and swims.

Create Your Perfect Earring Curation Be creative! Think about your favourite everyday earrings and style additional studs, hoops, huggies and ear cuffs. Add a bold statement piece to your ear stack for an evening look or add another classic earring to the mix to expand your curated ear. Remember there are no rules to creating the perfect ear stack, just pure self-expression!

Whether you have 1-piercing, 2-piercings 3-piercings or more, there are plenty of options for building a curated ear. Opt for no-piercing required ear cuffs to expand on a single ear piercing. Or if you have ventured down the piercing route, then you can have fun expanding your range of earring types, to fit your new piercings and play around with more stacking and layering. Think of your ear like an earring gallery, that changes to reflect your mood or outfit of the day. And the best part? You can switch it up as often as you like!
