Description

An adorable Pīwakawaka necklace cleverly cast in sterling silver from an original Tania Mallow carving, finished with a sterling silver chain and clasp.

This utterly delightful design celebrates the native New Zealand Pīwakawaka (Fantail) bird in profile. It has been skillfully brought to life in precious metals with its characteristic tail feathers fanned out in celebration as Tania’s favorite bird.

The Pīwakawaka is one of Aotearoa’s most treasured and celebrated native birds. It is impossible not to fall in love with their cheeky chirrups and fluttery movements. Often the companion of bush walkers they follow along collecting the tiny bugs stirred up by walkers. Spreading their fan shaped tails they will chatter and tell you a story as a sign of appreciation. It is clear to see why they are known as the ‘messengers’ of our native bird population. 

“The Pīwakawaka or Fantail is one of my favorite New Zealand birds. They are so joyful and playful and always make me smile.”

Did you know you are helping our native New Zealand birds? For each Tania Mallow bird necklace sold a $1 donation is made to BirdCare Aotearoa.

The bird range has a beautiful weighty feel. Like many of Tania Mallow's other pieces they are created with comfort and quality at the forefront. Materials are not spared on her jewellery and wearing them feels amazing. This necklace is enhanced by a skillful oxidization technique which brings the carved lines to life.

Pretty piwakawaka

A beautiful necklace - the piwakawaka sits really well on the chain - as does the tauhoi and monarch butterfly. Could not fault the service from Tania Mallow. Recipients loved their gifts!
