Strata Rectangle Pearl Earrings – Sterling Silver

Sculptural and luminous, the Strata Rectangle Pearl Earrings combine solid sterling-silver rectangles with baroque white pearls that sway gently below. Each earring features a deeply textured frame around a smooth, solid centre — a tactile contrast that highlights the natural irregularity of the pearl.

Handcrafted in Mt Eden, Auckland, these earrings belong to 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.

Why You’ll Love Them
