Earrings inspired by powerful women.

We want to make every woman feel beautiful and special.

 

Welcome to AURICLE, where each earring tells a story! Our handcrafted earrings, made with love in Edinburgh, are more than just accessories – they're a celebration of your unique style and personality. At AURICLE, we believe in the power of self-expression. Our earrings are not just ornaments; they are a way for you to showcase your amazing self to the world.

We understand how important earrings can be in completing your look. That's why each pair of our earrings is a work of art, inspired by and dedicated to incredible women just like you. Whether you're going for a bold statement or a subtle hint of elegance, our earrings are designed to make you feel confident and empowered.

Our journey began with a passion for anatomy and physiology, leading to the creation of AURICLE – from there, everything clicked into place, and now we're here to add that extra sparkle to your everyday life.

At AURICLE, it's not just about wearing earrings; it's about wearing your personality. So, instead of following you around with a neon sign saying, "LOOK AT THIS AMAZING WOMAN!", we'd rather let our earrings do the talking. They're your perfect companions, ready to accentuate your amazing, clever, kind, fun, and uniquely wonderful self. Welcome to the family of AURICLE, where every earring is a reflection of you!

It's a way of saying:

About Me

Hi there! I'm Danny, and I've got a little secret to share: while I'm the proud founder of AURICLE, that's not all there is to me. I'm also deeply immersed in the world of science, working towards my PhD in neuroendocrinology. AURICLE is my heart project, a labor of love that I hope you'll find as wonderful as I do.

Originally from the vibrant city of Vienna, Austria, I was lucky to grow up in a culturally rich environment, thanks to my American mother and Austrian father. This blend of cultures has given me a unique perspective, not to mention an interesting accent! It's mostly American, but after moving to Scotland for university in 2011, it's now sprinkled with delightful Scottish influences.

Edinburgh is where I call home now, along with my two adorable dogs, Sid and Harry. 

Creating AURICLE wasn't just about starting a business; it was about bringing joy and empowerment to others, especially women. As a survivor myself, I find strength in supporting other survivors. Through AURICLE, I aim to help women let their inner light shine brightly and confidently.

So, that's a bit about me and my journey. I hope you'll join me in this adventure of spreading smiles and empowerment, one pair of earrings at a time!
