Ear Climbers

An ear climber traces the curve of the ear instead of hanging from it. From the front it reads less as an earring than as a line drawn on the ear, the look of a cuff that floats. Solise makes two: Aria, a single unbroken wire, and Navette, a tapering crescent. Each comes in rhodium-finished 925 sterling silver or 2.5-micron gold vermeil.

Aria and Navette, side by side

Aria

One unbroken wire

Inspired by the legendary guiding thread of fate: a continuous, unbroken line moving gracefully through time.

  • Light, sleek and modern: worn all day without ever asking for your attention.
  • Traces the ear rather than hanging from it, for the look of a floating cuff.
  • One wire bent back on itself and never cut: a single unbroken line that opens, doubles and closes.

Navette

A tapering crescent

Named after the French weaving shuttle that carries thread effortlessly back and forth across the loom.

  • A crescent, tapering from its widest point to a fine tip at each end, following the curve of the lobe.
  • Traces the ear rather than hanging from it, for the look of a floating cuff.
  • Over 6 grams of solid sterling. The weight is the first thing you notice when it goes on.

How to wear an ear climber

A climber is at its best where it can be seen. Hair tucked behind the ear or pulled back gives it the whole curve to work with; worn under loose hair it becomes a glimpse, which has its own appeal.

Because it follows the ear rather than falling from it, a climber does not swing. That makes it one of the easiest shapes to wear through a full day: at a desk, on a call, under a scarf.

It carries a look on its own. If you wear more than one piece, let the climber be the one with the line, and keep anything beside it small and still.

The metals

Silver, or gold vermeil

Every piece is 925 sterling silver, nickel-free and hypoallergenic. The silver is finished in rhodium; the vermeil is 2.5 microns of gold over the same sterling. How each one wears, and how to keep it, is written out in full.
