5 Earring Essentials To Elevate Your Ear Styling
At SARAH & SEBASTIAN, earrings are a celebration of self, designed to echo your unique style story. Handrafted in our Sydney studio, our earring collection invites you to explore and express your style through the art of layering and one-of-a-kind combinations. Embark on a transformative Ear Alchemy journey and take your earring styling to new heights with our top 5 must-have earring styles to stand the test of time.
1. STUD EARRINGS: UNDERSTATED CHARM
Stud earrings are quintessential ear styling pieces beloved for their minimalist versatility. Available in various silhouettes and motifs or with gemstones, pearls, or diamonds, they are the ultimate pared-back must-haves that sit comfortably on the earlobe and layer effortlessly with a range of hoops, ear cuffs and statement pieces.
For understated simplicity, opt for an all-stud ensemble with a mix of different shapes, sizes, embellishments and motifs, or keep it classic and unified with matching stud earrings.
2. NATURAL DIAMOND EARRINGS: ELEVATED SOPHISTICATION
Our timeless diamond earrings range from delicate studs with petite diamonds to larger statement styles with hand-selected diamonds. Adding a layer of luxury and brilliance to your ear styling, these classic essentials transcend trends and can be layered with all types of earrings.
All our responsibly sourced natural diamonds are handpicked to ensure they are of the highest quality. We invite you to read more about our diamond guide here.
3. HOOPS: TIMELESS CIRCLES
With circular silhouettes, hoop earrings are a celebration of continuity and are one of the most universally flattering earring styles. Ranging in size from small and dainty, to large and bold, our versatile range of hoops includes everything from diamond-embellished pieces, like our Gossamer Hoops, to chunky statement styles, like our Bold Hoops, or those adorned with opals or blue topaz gemstones.
Wear large, bold hoops as hero pieces in the lobe, and layer them in descending sizes up the ear to create a cascading look that elongates the neck and frames the face.
4. CARTILAGE EARRINGS: BALANCE
Unlike traditional stud earrings that push through the piercing hole from the front, and are secure together with a classic butterfly backing, internally threaded cartilage earrings are inserted into the piercing from the back of the ear, and feature a smooth post with a flat backing. The front embellished piece features a screw connection that threads into the back piece securly, making them ideal for cartilage piercings including the flat, conch, tragus, daith, rook, helix and forward helix.
Adorn your ear from top to bottom with our cartilage earrings to balance out larger or bolder statement styles on the lobe, and to add an unexpected element to your Ear Alchemy styling.
For expert ear styling advice with cartilage piercings, book a complimentary Ear Alchemy Styling appointment with our piercers at one of our Piercing Labs.
5. A DANCE OF GEMSTONES
Coloured gemstone earrings are the ultimate way to add a point of difference to your Ear Alchemy styling. Our opal earrings present a captivating spectacle of colours which come to life when contrasted with minimalist gold or silver pieces, while our emerald earrings will elevate your ear layering with a pop of glowing green.
For a more subtle touch of colour, our most loved birthstone earrings are delicate pieces to imbue a personal touch to your Ear Alchemy styling. Correlating to individual birth months, each piece is adorned with a specific gemstone holding unique qualities and symbolism. Whether it's the rejuvenating green of May's emerald or the royal purple of February's amethyst, they can be worn solo for a pared-back look or layered with other studs and hoops from the SARAH & SEBASTIAN earring collection.
