Sweet little Kiwi earrings, cleverly cast in warm-toned bronze from an original Tania Mallow carving, and finished with comfortable sterling silver hooks for easy everyday wear.
The incredibly shy and fragile Kiwi has become one of New Zealand’s most cherished symbols. This flightless, nocturnal bird represents the uniqueness of our wildlife and the importance of protecting our natural heritage.
Kiwi are a treasured taonga, holding deep cultural and historical significance. Today, wild kiwi populations face challenges from introduced predators and habitat loss, and conservation efforts across Aotearoa continue to work towards restoring their numbers.
Like many of Tania Mallow’s pieces, these earrings are designed with both comfort and quality in mind. They are lightweight enough for all-day wear, and the carved details are enhanced through careful finishing techniques that bring the texture and character of the design to life.
Bronze is a durable metal alloy known for its warm, golden-brown tone, which develops a natural patina over time, adding depth and character to each piece. If preferred, bronze can easily be polished to restore its original shine. The sterling silver hooks are gentle on sensitive ears and provide lasting strength.
