Embarking on an ear-piercing styling journey can seem daunting at first, and it's completely normal if you're unsure where to start. Crafting the ultimate Ear Alchemy - the perfect harmony of professional piercings and fine cartilage earrings - is a blend of personal style and understanding your unique ear anatomy. 

At SARAH & SEBASTIAN, our expert team specialises in earring placements and ear piercing styling, enhancing your ears with a tailored approach. We revel in the unique beauty of each individual ear. While traditional ear styling focuses entirely on symmetry, we embrace experimentation and uniqueness, illuminating your features with diamonds, opals, and other precious stones. 

Crafting your ideal ear can often take years to master. However, with our expert guidance and extensive range of internally threaded cartilage earrings, we’ll help you easily navigate your ear styling journey.

MARTA | SERVICES MANAGER - PADDINGTON FLAGSHIP

Working with the contours of the ear is about appreciating and accentuating any striking features. Given that the lobe is so delicious, it allows for all of the room for activities; a triangular formation nicely fills out the space and is also a great way of balancing out any uneven placements in correspondence with the other lobe. Of course, opal earrings are a favourite of mine so they are definitely a must in any scenario!

TEARA | PIERCER - PADDINGTON & MECCA FLAGSHIP

Simple but striking! The minimal look is classic but really gives room for each piece to shine. The Fine Gossamer Cartilage Earring II being one of the most-wanted pieces works so nicely on the ear flat to fill out the top half of the ear. With all pieces being claw-set, it gives it a really cohesive look but something that is very timeless. Besides that, who could say no to the Diamond Gravity Earring?

Though our piercing edit is wonderful within itself, I enjoy creating new meaning from the delicate yet intricate shapes and using the ear as a canvas to display the collection. Placing different abstract shapes together can give new meaning to the pieces, which is a story within itself; it just goes to show how impossible it is to choose one single favourite piece overall!

Using a range of different shapes is dynamic but still works with the ear's individual features. Being a sucker for a faux rook, the placement works well with the forward helix to create an overall balance. The angular motion of the Exo Diamond Cartilage Earring would match well with the shape of the auricle, whilst a standard first, second and third placement on the lobe allows for a multidisciplinary look and feel.

CHARLOTTE | PIERCER - MELBOURNE CITY

Ear alchemy is a delicate balance between working with the body's individual healing process alongside aesthetic preferences. It is definitely a slow and steady process to successfully heal a piercing, so having each piece create its own statement on different sections of the ear really helps instantly fill the area out. Keeping it nice and understated with white diamonds and a pop of citrine in the lobe really ties together this look.

The black diamonds have some depth and mysteriousness to them. Trickled in amongst the glimpses of sleek, simple shapes in the yellow gold, it allows for a full effect whilst keeping it nice and simple. Having never had the opportunity to work with black diamonds previously has given me a newfound love for them.
