In Brass and 925 Silver. Made to order in 18K Gold

In stockShips in 2–3 business days

Inspired by the quiet strength of the elephant matriarch - a presence that leads through wisdom, memory, protection and care.

Sculptural and understated, the Matriarch Studs offer a subtle expression of the elephants - the imprints they leave behind on us and in nature.

You can also pair them with the Lineage Ear Chain to add drama and movement.

From KULA, Surmeyi × Haati Chai.

Offered in Brass, 925 Silver or 18K Gold.

The ear posts and ear nuts for both the Brass and 925 Silver variations are in 925 Silver.

Diameter of the round motif is ~1.4 inch
Since the products are handmade, all weights and dimensions are approximate.

The Brass and Silver Jewelry ages gracefully, gaining a patina; you can slow this process by storing it in a dry, dark, airtight container, away from moisture. To restore the original finish, use Pitambari powder with the included polishing cloth or in an ultrasonic cleaner with water. For full care instructions, visit surmeyi.com/jewelry-care.

Keep your 18K Gold Jewelry away from harsh chemicals. Gently clean with a soft cloth and warm water to restore shine & remove light buildup.

The story of Kula

Kula is inspired by elephants as beings, not motifs. The way a herd moves together, how a matriarch remembers the way home, and how closely their lives are tied to one another and to the land. That way of seeing found its way into these pieces. In the silhouettes, the imprints, patterns and the shadows. Pieces that don’t resemble an elephant so much as leave you with the feeling of her presence.
