Give a whole new meaning to "swimming with the fishes" with our captivating, conversation-starting Playing-Koi Ear Climbers. These whimsical statement pieces are beautifully cast in the likeness of ornamental koi fish, designed to curve gracefully upward along the natural contour of your ear lobe. Available in your choice of opulent, high-polish 18k gold plating or brilliant silver plating over a premium solid brass base core, each tiny fish features meticulously detailed scale texture and delicate fins that capture and reflect light with every head turn.

Hand-polished at our West Hollywood studio, these lightweight climbers measure a delicate 1 inch in length by 1/4 inch in width. Engineered for a seamless, comfortable fit, they feature a secure, elongated ear wire backing that glides through a single lobe piercing and hugs the ear flat for a stable, slip-free drape. Classified as demifine, the Playing-Koi climbers are designed to blend effortlessly with your finest everyday pieces—injecting an artistic, narrative-driven punctuation to casual daytime linen, sharp tailoring, or breezy resort wear.

Artist’s Note

"With the Playing-Koi climbers, I wanted to capture the quiet, rhythmic movement of koi fish gliding through water. There's a beautiful, sculptural challenge in making a metal piece feel kinetic, and we achieved that by giving the fish's body a soft, organic curve that naturally follows the ear's anatomy. Offering them in both gold and silver allows you to coordinate them perfectly with your signature metal palette. The hand-textured scale detailing gives them an incredible depth that really pops against the skin, making them perfect for adding a touch of sophisticated playfulness to an everyday ear stack."
