Sunniva — Hairon Cowhide Teardrop Earrings
Sunniva is a pair of teardrop earrings cut from genuine hair-on cowhide, finished in black with a metallic gold foil overlay that catches the light differently with every movement. The foil sits directly on the hide, so the pattern beneath still shows through in places, rather than a flat printed finish.
Cowhide is a natural material, and the pattern beneath Sunniva's gold foil is cut and finished as one of a kind — no two pairs will ever show quite the same markings underneath.

The Earrings
Finished one at a time
Small pieces still get the same material and finish as everything else in the edit — genuine leather, sized to wear all day without feeling heavy on the ear.
It's a small piece with an outsized presence — the kind of earring that reads as considered rather than costume, equally at home with festival layers, everyday denim, or something dressed up for the evening. Keep it away from water — swimming and showering will damage the finish, so it's an earring for getting dressed in, not living in.
Aftercare
Keep it looking this good
Leather ages best with a little attention. Keep pieces away from direct heat and prolonged sun, wipe spills promptly with a dry cloth, and condition every few months with a leather-safe balm to stop it drying out. Store stuffed with tissue to hold its shape when not in use.

Leather that's built to age well
Every piece in the Cuerava edit is chosen for genuine leather and construction that holds up — not fast fashion, not disposable. We pick pieces we’d carry ourselves, then let the leather do the rest: it darkens, softens, and gets better with use.
