These simple little Kowhaiwhai earrings are inspired by the patterns found in traditional meeting houses. The design is kept simple and well balanced to catch the eye as it swings and moves. The contrast of dark jade against the 23kt gold leaf makes a striking statement.
Raukaraka- Genuine West Coast Greenstone from the Taramakau River Area. This is the term used by the Māori of the Cook Strait region of the Kawakawa variety that is streaked with a shade of olive green and has yellow and orange hues that blend into the greens. This stone shares its name with the New Zealand native Karaka tree.
