The Curated Ear
What We Offer
The vast world of piercings and fine jewelry can be overwhelming. We’re here to help you take your look to the next level and find jewelry that’s “you.”
This service begins with a consultation with one of our piercers, who will work with you to create a look for your ear that works with your anatomy, lifestyle, and personal taste. We can include existing piercings as well as working with your anatomical and lifestyle considerations to plan new piercings for the best look, with a maximum of 4 new piercings. We find it’s best to coordinate each ear separately. Please plan for two separate appointments if you’d like to style both ears.
For a Basic Curation, our piercers will use a stock model of an ear to show you how our in-stock gold jewelry options work together. We’ll use your preferences on gold color, gemstones, and style to get the best combination. You have the option to book a separate 30 minute consultation and 30 minute piercing appointment on different days, or book a single 1 hour appointment to curate and complete the piercings and jewelry installation.
An Advanced Curation gives our piercer time to take a clear photo of your ear so we can make a digital mockup with the jewelry and piercings on your anatomy. In addition to the services included in the Basic Curation, this also allows us to consider special order and customize jewelry options. While we generally have hundreds of jewelry options on hand, we can’t keep everything from every jeweler in stock.
If your taste runs on the “basic” side, a triple cartilage piercing or jewelry change appointment may be better suited for you.
