Sweet little Kiwi earrings cleverly cast in sterling silver from an original Tania Mallow carving, finished with a sterling silver hooks. 

This incredibly shy and fragile bird has become an icon of the highest significance to New Zealanders or ‘Kiwi’s’ as we have come to be known. The flightless nocturnal Kiwi is without doubt our most treasured bird, a symbol for the uniqueness of New Zealand wildlife and the value of our natural heritage.

Kiwi are a taonga (treasure) to Maori, who have strong cultural, spiritual and historic associations with kiwi. Right now our most beloved Kiwi are struggling for survival due to introduced predators and habitat decline and all over Aotearoa there are initiatives for reversing this damage which we can all take part in.

Like many of Tania Mallow’s other pieces these earrings are created with comfort and quality at the forefront. They are double sided with the detail carved into both the front and back. The Kiwi’s feathers are enhanced by a skillful oxidization technique which brings the carved lines to life.
