Strata Bronze Rectangle Topaz Earrings – Fluid Textured

The Strata Bronze Rectangle Topaz Earrings by HerbertandWilks are handcrafted in Mt Eden, Auckland. Solid bronze rectangles with fluid, hand-textured surfaces and faceted London Blue Topaz beads create a luminous balance of warmth and depth. Part of the Strata Collection, these earrings celebrate surface, story, and sustainable New Zealand craft.

Warm bronze, ocean blue, and sculptural texture.

The Strata Bronze Rectangle Topaz Earrings bring depth and luminosity to the Strata Collection. Each earring features a solid bronze rectangle with a fluid, hand-textured surface framing a smooth inner form. A faceted London Blue Topaz bead is suspended below, its shifting teal and ocean hues catching the light with every movement.

Handcrafted in Mt Eden, Auckland, these earrings reflect the heart of the HerbertandWilks Strata Collection — where surface tells story, and every mark carries intention.

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.
