A beautiful little tribute to one of New Zealand’s most iconic native birds.
Handcrafted in sterling silver from an original Tania Mallow carving, this petite Tui pendant captures the distinctive character and intricate detail of the much-loved Tui. Finished with a skillful oxidisation technique, the darker tones bring the carved lines to life, creating depth and definition in this beautifully detailed little piece.
Known for its spectacular, multidimensional birdsong, the Tui is a familiar and much-loved sight across Aotearoa. With its glossy dark plumage, distinctive white throat tufts and unmistakable song, it is a bird that holds a special place in the New Zealand landscape.
Designed with comfort, quality and everyday wear in mind, this petite pendant is a lovely way to carry a little piece of New Zealand with you.
Like many of Tania Mallow’s creations, this piece is made with care in her Beachlands studio, using quality materials and traditional craftsmanship. Tania is also proud to support BirdCare Aotearoa through a monthly donation, helping care for our precious native birdlife.

Caring for your sterling silver
Sterling silver is a durable, long-lasting precious metal that can be easily maintained with a gentle polish using a silver polishing cloth.
A thoughtful gift for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts or anyone who holds a special connection to Aotearoa New Zealand.
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.
We use a wide range of quality materials that only deliver the best look and experience.
Based on the idea that the things we accumulate during our lifetime are the things that are most dear to us, our pieces are designed to be passed down generation after generation.
