Description: Designer Earrings
Named for ancestral dreams and deeds.
Memories of tūpuna seeding in our bones.
Inspired by the smell inside our whare tūpuna of age and history, connections, warm wood, shared breath.
Roadtrips with kaihana to walk on whenua, kaputī and visits with whanaunga on their farms – these are the moments that lead us to the feathers that adorn these and our other befeathered earrings.
Materials: Ribbon, hand stamped brass, bone, locally gathered feathers, nickel free earring hooks
