Rectangular Strata Charm Earrings – Mixed Metal

A sculptural take on mixed-metal earrings, the Rectangular Strata Charm Earrings combine golden bronze and sterling silver into open-framed forms textured on both sides. Each earring layers a warm bronze rectangle behind a smaller silver one — a pairing that plays with light, depth, and contrast.
Handcrafted in Mt Eden, Auckland, they sit within the Strata Collection — an exploration of surface and story where texture becomes ornament and imperfection feels intentional.

About the Strata Collection

Born from textured wax and the marks of making, the Strata Collection captures how surface becomes story. Each piece combines sculpted silver and warm bronze tones, occasionally accented with lab-grown diamonds, topaz, or pearls. The result is jewellery that feels tactile, expressive, and deeply wearable — a balance of raw form and refined craft.
