Stud Nose Cuff

A collection of facial ornaments inspired by radical tribal jewelry that aims to combat the media’s idealization of beauty and the modern obsession with plastic surgery that pervades society. Our creations allow wearers to customize their appearance at will, empowering them through enhancement rather than modification of their natural features.

Constructed with 18-carat yellow gold, diamonds, and pearls, each piece is uniquely designed with varied structures, scaled accordingly to fit the multitude of facial anatomies of both Asian and Western societies. Thin gold wireframes highlight the wearer’s delicate features, while diamonds and pearls add an elaborate touch that draws attention to imperfect attributes.

The collection hopes to raise awareness about the pressures of today’s beauty standards, by offering a viable alternative that celebrates individuality and improves existing imperfections. Each piece of jewelry challenges the wearers’ insecurities by enhancing their facial features as an act of embracing their flaws.
