West Yorkshire Police believe the man did not seek medical treatment following the incident which took place in Huddersfield at 9.20pm, and have urged him to come forward.
A photograph of the torn and bloodied rim and lobe of the ear, complete with diamond ear stud, was posted on Twitter but the victim has not yet been traced.
Two men, aged 37 and 45, have been arrested on suspicion of wounding and are currently in police custody.
A force spokesman said: "The male who we believe was injured in this incident has still not been traced and has not contacted police."
He added: “We have recovered a partially severed ear, the outer section of it. It still has the diamond stud in it.”
