Passage Drop Studs

Gold set with natural stone is the season's softest statement. The Passage Drop Studs from Kirstin Ash are sculptural gold earrings, two organic gold shapes set with white mother of pearl and tiger's eye.

Luminous mother of pearl sits above a warm, earthy tiger's eye, balancing softness and strength in one fluid drop. The brass base keeps a statement this size lighter on the ear, and each piece is made by hand, so no two are quite the same. Part of SOLAR, Kirstin Ash's collection of talismans inspired by the sun as a source of light, clarity and healing.

• Sculptural gold drop studs set with two cabochon stones
• White mother of pearl oval cabochon, 8 x 5mm

• Handmade, from the Kirstin Ash SOLAR collection

Style it: Let them lead on their own, or carry the tiger's eye through the ear with the Solar Tigers Eye Hoops - Gold in another piercing for a set that feels collected rather than matched.

Remove before swimming, exercising, bathing and sleeping, and avoid perfumes, lotions and chemicals, as residue can affect the finish over time.
Polish gently with a soft microfibre cloth. For a deeper clean, soak briefly in mild soapy water (no more than 10 minutes, no more than once a month), then buff dry with the cloth.
Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight, ideally in a jewellery box with the anti-tarnish strip included. Avoid storing long-term in the original box or pouch.
Gemstones: wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemicals, water and prolonged sunlight.
