Adorable little penguins to brighten your day. These petite sterling silver earrings perfectly capture the charm of the Blue Penguin, or Kororā — New Zealand’s smallest and most endearing penguin species.
Each tiny Kororā is cast in sterling silver from an original Tania Mallow carving, preserving every delicate detail of these remarkable seabirds. Choose from sterling silver hooks or hoops — both beautifully lightweight and designed for effortless, all-day comfort.
Inspired by the magical sight of a Kororā emerging from the sea at night and waddling to its seaside burrow, these earrings celebrate the quiet wonder of New Zealand’s coastal wildlife.
Handcrafted with care in Aotearoa, these petite penguin earrings make a meaningful gift for nature lovers and bird enthusiasts alike — or a sweet reminder of the wild beauty that surrounds us.

Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5% pure silver, resulting in a metal that’s both durable and long-lasting. It’s easily maintained — a simple polish with a soft cloth will restore its bright shine. All Tania Mallow Jewellery pieces are made from certified sterling silver, ensuring lasting quality and authenticity.
When your pieces are not being shown off, it is best to keep them in a dry, soft case. This will protect them and increase the longevity so you can continue to wear them for years to come.
Regularly cleaning your pieces will decrease the natural film that builds up over time. Contact us for more info.
