Strata Rectangle Stud Earrings – Sterling Silver

You won’t want to take these off. The Strata Rectangle Stud Earrings are small yet sculptural — sterling silver rectangles with a textured outer frame and a smoother, solid centre. Designed and made in Mt Eden, Auckland, they embody the tactile beauty of the Strata Collection where surface becomes story and even the smallest forms hold presence.

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.
