Description: Pounamu Earrings
At this time of the year, the constellation Matariki has set over the Western Horizon in order to visit her kuia, Papatūānuku. Matariki and her six daughters are spending their time preparing and adorning their kuia for the new year, making her beautiful. Our tūpuna would adorn themselves with many types of ornaments. Pounamu was highly prized, a very valuable form of currency for trade, as they still are today. Hine Rua means ‘two women’ or ‘women of the deep’ and remind us of the beautiful work of Matariki, the mother, and her daughters in adorning their kuia.
Materials: Pounamu – sourced from local iwi, hapū of Mōhua where Erihapeti lives in Motueka, sterling silver
