Fed up with the limited jewellery choices for ALTERNATIVE PIERCINGS? There are so many beautiful, luxe options, writes NATASHA SHERLING …
As unusual piercings become more mainstream, those who love them are demanding finer jewellery that fits with the rest of their style. Maria Tash, therefore, is a need-to-know name: she is a New York piercer and designer who has been at the forefront of this movement towards beautiful jewels for cool piercings.
Stylish clients include Julianne Moore, Beyonce and Scarlett Johanssen; Tash’s style, with its clear Indian influence, features gemstones like diamonds, sapphires and rubies set into 18ct gold and platinum – a perfect seasonal tie-in with the OTT jewels seen on the Alexander McQueen A/W catwalk.
Intricate metal beadwork, spikes and tassels characterise her work; clever closures and fine wires keep each ring and stud comfortable – whether the fit is for an ear, nose, or elsewhere.
She sells from her Manhattan flagship and online – and now, she has a dedicated London space in Liberty as well, where clients can get pierced and purchase the jewellery to go with. It is well worth paying a visit, even without alternative piercings – her style is just as covetable for those who only have standard lobe piercings.
