Looking to curate your ear with a collection of beautiful, pieces? Whether you're starting with a blank canvas or upgrading your existing piercings, creating a set of curated ear piercings can feel like a huge overwhelming task. So lets look at three simple tips to help you style your ear.

The key to a beautifully curated ear piercings is cohesion — and colour is where it starts. Stick to no more than four colours, including the setting (yes, your jewellery setting counts as a colour too!).

Start by choosing a base are you a white rose or yellow gold kind of person, or is titanium more of your thing? From there, pick one maybe two complementing colours. Then you can use a colour wheel (Like Figma) to find 1–2 complementary tones, or add neutral pieces like clear gemstones (lab-grown diamonds are a great sustainable choice) to tie the look together.

Pro tip: Limiting your palette ensures your ear appears intentional, balanced, and looks stunning.

2. Choose Jewellery You Love (Not Just What "Fits")

When building a curated ear piercings, don’t limit yourself to what you think fits a certain placement. Instead, browse for jewellery that excites you — regardless of size or colour — and collect images on something like Pintrest or save your favourites on Instagram. You might not find the exact colour combination right away, and that’s okay! The important thing is choosing pieces you love first so don't worry about the colour of this piece at this stage. The perfect placements and styling will come next with your piercers expert help.

3. Book a Consultation With a Professional

• The best placements for your favourite pieces

• The order in which to get new piercings or change over jewellery
