Oval Strata Charm Earrings – Sterling Silver

A sculptural take on small silver hoops, the Oval Strata Charm Earrings pair classic sterling silver hoops with removable, hand-textured oval charms. Designed and made in Mt Eden, Auckland, they reflect 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.

Collectable & Layerable

A beautiful gift on its own, or the start of a story to build over time. Each charm can be added, or swapped between family or friends — a reminder of moments and connections that matter.

Designed for versatility, these charms can be mixed, matched, or worn alone. Pair them with the Mixed-Metal Strata Charm Earrings with Lab-Grown Diamonds for a contrast of metals, or add them to your existing Herbert & Wilks hoops to build a personalised charm set.

Why You’ll Love Them

For the collector who treasures craftsmanship and meaning, each mark on the Oval Strata Charms is a reminder that beauty lies in the handmade — imperfect, intentional, and entirely yours. Sculptural yet understated, they’re made to be worn — or gifted — as small expressions of care and craft.
