Description
Tree Ear Cuff in Aluminium: GRAFT by REPIOR®
GRAFT Tree is a tree ear cuff formed by hand in aluminium wire. A trunk and branches are drawn in wire and wrapped around the rim of the ear, where the cuff holds by gentle tension alone. Nothing is pierced, and the aluminium is so light it barely registers.
Picture a sapling growing along a garden wall, finding its own way up. This one has found the curve of your ear.
Rooted, and still growing.

The Gardener’s Craft
GRAFT takes its name from the gardener’s craft: one form joined to another until they grow as one. Here the tree is grafted onto the ear itself, so the line of the branches and the line of the helix become a single shape.
In our studio, each tree is twisted and shaped from aluminium wire by hand, branch by branch, then fitted to the curve of an ear and refined so it sits close without pressing. No two trees grow alike.
Colours

How to Wear It
Open the cuff a fraction and slide it onto the rim of the ear, letting the branches follow the helix. Press gently until it feels secure. Aluminium is soft, so you can fine-tune the fit with your fingers. To remove, ease it open and slide it off; avoid bending it repeatedly in the same place.
Materials
- Aluminium wire, formed by hand
- Very light and nickel-free
- Non-piercing: held by gentle tension
Every branch is twisted by hand, so every tree is its own. This is the material, not a flaw.

Care Instructions
Remove before swimming or sleeping. Aluminium is light and nickel-free; wipe it dry after wear and keep it from perfume and hairspray, which can dull the colour. Store it in a pouch where it will not be crushed. For sensitive skin, read our guide to hypoallergenic metals in body jewellery.
Packaging
GRAFT arrives in signature REPIOR® packaging: considered, already a gift. Your REPIOR Certificate of Authenticity is included.
Why a Tree Ear Cuff?
A tree ear cuff carries a little of the forest into everyday life. In aluminium it is light enough for all-day wear, and with no piercing it makes an easy gift for anyone who loves nature.
It is for walkers, gardeners and dreamers. For those who feel most themselves among trees, and who want to carry a little of the forest with them into the city.
Questions
Does an ear cuff without a piercing hurt?
It should not. GRAFT rests on the rim of the ear with light, even pressure. If it pinches, open it a fraction; if it feels loose, close it a little until it sits snug.
Which colour suits the tree?
Silver and gold read as fine jewellery; green and rose gold are spring; red is autumn.
Is aluminium good for sensitive ears?
Aluminium is nickel-free and very light, which is why many people with sensitive ears choose it. For more detail, read our guide to hypoallergenic metals in body jewellery.
Is it a good gift?
Yes. There is no ring size to guess and no piercing needed, and GRAFT arrives in signature REPIOR® packaging with a Certificate of Authenticity, ready to give. Our gift guide has more ideas.
