These elegant earrings feature a smooth teardrop form carved from authentic pounamu (New Zealand greenstone), inlaid with vibrant strips of pāua shell. The deep green of the stone contrasts beautifully with the iridescent blues, greens, and purples of the pāua, capturing the natural beauty of Aotearoa.
Each pair is carefully crafted, with subtle engraved patterns running along the pounamu surface, adding texture and depth. Suspended from hypoallergenic silver-tone hooks, they offer both cultural richness and contemporary style.
