INTERVIEW: Ali Weiss Talks Favorite Earrings, Trends, and Blue & Cream Piercing Party

There were many notable pop-ups last summer, but Ali Weiss and Blue & Cream’s Piercing Party was by far the coolest! They are back this Saturday, July 27th and Sunday, July 28th from 12pm to 7pm at Blue & Cream in East Hampton. Meet Ali Weiss this weekend and ask her for pro tips on picking the right earring and placement. Peruse Ali Weiss’ Jewlery collection, choose the perfect earring, and get a new piercing right at that moment with her piercer, Keri D’Angelo. 

You are in the best hands with Ali; her passion for jewelry is evident as she goes above and beyond to find that perfect piece of jewelry to fit your look. Years before starting her own business, Ali worked closely with her jeweler to make custom pieces for her personal collection. She knows how important it is to find pieces that match your style. After a meeting with designer Helen Ficalora, Ali followed her passion and started her career in the jewelry industry. Ali worked alongside Helen, learning the design and business process. Ali started creating her own pieces and, in 2005, launched Ali Weiss Jewelry. Today, the brand consists of 14K pieces that are created to be worn every day with any outfit. 

Ali Weiss sat down with Hamptons.com to discuss favorite earrings, trends, and the Blue & Cream Piercing Party.

What are three earrings you love?

I really do love them all so it’s hard to pick, but if I had to choose favorites my top three would be:

The Bold Gold Large Oval Hoops

These look great on everyone and are such a staple earring; everyone needs a hoop!

The Diamond Pear with Curb Chain 

I love chains and a chunky look, and these are the perfect mix!

The Diamond Stud with Drop Emerald Pear

I always love adding a pop of color to the perfect ear stack. I love drop earrings and mixing diamond shapes, so this one is definitely a favorite!

What can we expect at your pop-up?

We look forward to our annual pop-up in the Hamptons each summer, where we delight in reconnecting with returning clients and welcome new customers! The allure of Hamptons summers makes each visit truly extraordinary!

The top piercing trend right now?

While I typically avoid the term “trend,” there’s been a notable rise in interest among clients for “stacked” piercings, sometimes referred to as “snake bites” – where a mini stud is placed above an existing lobe piercing. It’s a fun look that I’m personally considering for my next piercing! Our clients are enthusiastically embracing the addition of new piercings, even something as subtle as a second earlobe hole!
