Tash studied at Columbia University in New York before moving abroad to King’s College in London. “I’m going to really pay attention to the item 360 degrees.” She will also worry about what the backs are like.

I really worry about how low profile items are.” Which is why she does very minimalist settings, like floating or invisible and is adamant about not having settings like claws and prongs that catch on clothes. “I’m very mindful of how heavy stuff is, too. “I think I design jewellery that can be worn continuously,” she says. It is Maria Tash’s background in piercing and body jewellery that has made her brand unique, and also very cool. She opened her first studio in Manhattan’s East Village and has, she thinks, been getting piercings since 1985. Her finger flashes with a blue pear-shaped tanzanite and she swings in her chair as she talks, takes a piece of chewing gum and reels off with speed and ease an encyclopaedic knowledge of jewellery, techniques, her business, which has been going since 1993. “I actually tend to be personally on the fancier side on a day by day, I just like it like that,” she says. She takes out a helix earring to show how easy it is to switch things up. So comfortable is her curated ear – a term she coined – that she sleeps with all of her piercings. She is wearing a pink-ish top which matches a sweep of pink-ish eye shadow and her ears sparkle with her trademark piercings, or what she refers to as “jazz” throughout our conversation. The native New Yorker is sitting in her new office with a view of Manhattan behind her. At least that’s what we’re telling ourselves, anyway! Here are some of the earrings from Maria Tash that caught our eye and give you flavour of whats on offer.Maria Tash is the jewellery world’s piercing queen and has been for over 20 years. But diamond hoops are something that you will always have and they never got out of style. Tragus piercings are really popular and this 18-karat Gold Diamond Earring looks super pretty. This trend probably isn’t one that will appeal to everyone a Maria Tash piercing is definitely a treat. Highly recommended #mariatash #piercingĪ post shared by Suzanne Jackson-O’Connor on at 9:33am PDT

Calm, professional and a bucket of encouraging words. Today I got TASH’d with the amazing at in The lovely people at invited me in for the experience and I am so happy with my piercing! I chose to have my Conch pierced (with the advice of the team on the counter – they were all SO professional and helpful) with the stunning 18ct white gold and diamond 3 star garland was my piercer and he was literally the dream. “We’re all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars” …. They’re definitely far more affordable than the other earrings in the collection, but one single earring will set you back €170. If you follow YouTuber Tanya Burr, you’ve probably noticed her wearing the Maria Tash Spike Earrings. The diamonds used are real and other precious gemstones are also incorporated into designs, like this Diamond, Opal And Rose Gold earring. Maria Tash earrings aren’t the same as those on offer in Claire’s Accessories. And you are paying for the luxury aspect of it, similar to buying a Chanel or Gucci bag. So, why the hype over such expensive earrings? Tanya Burr wearing a number of Maria Tash pieces. Maria Tash specialise in “curated ears” which means that each earring is sold individually and not as a pair.

Notice that we are keeping it in the plural. Piercings at Maria Tash range from €20 to €40, but then the earrings cost anything from €100 for a simple hoop, to over €2,000 for the statement diamond earring. Fans of Maria Tash include Beyonce, Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson, Zoella and Fleur de Force.Īll of the earrings look super amazing, but they’re also a bit on the spendy side. Multiple pricings are very popular at the moment and Maria Tash is definitely the one driving that trend.īefore now you had to hop on a plane to NYC, LA or London to indulge in a Maria Tash piercing, but now you juts have to pop into Brown Thomas in Dublin.
