Maria Tash

If you appreciate ear jewelry that's on the edgier side, you're likely already a fan of Maria Tash, who for nearly 30 years has been merging the worlds of fine jewelry and piercings. As the creative force behind "the curated ear," Tash sees a plentiful mixture of earrings—luxe studs, small hoops, cuffs and more—to be a high form of self-expression. Nordstrom offers a tempting selection of Maria Tash designs featuring the memorable elements and motifs Tash is known for: skulls, spikes, chains, stars and moons—plus butterflies: a universal symbol of transformation. And Tash's designs are unmistakably high-end, showcasing 18k gold, genuine pearls, classic white diamonds and dramatic black diamonds. Because Maria Tash is all about a bold mixture of adornments extending all the way up the ear, you'll find plenty of styles created to be worn high on the ear like cuffs and helix earrings—also known as cartilage earrings.
