Product Details

These NZ Made earrings depict the large heart shaped leaves of the Kawakawa tree.

Kawakawa has a long history of medicinal use by māori which continues today through its popular use in healing balms and teas. Holes are created in the leaves by our native caterpillars who feed on them, in tradtitonal practise leaves with holes were preferred. No matter what track you are walking on Tiritiri Matangi Island, you are almost guaranteed to see some kawakawa trees.

  • Hand Painted (each pair is unique)

  • Surgical Stainless steel hooks (good for sensitive ears)

These earrings are created by a NZ creative who has their own small business called “Natty”. Natty has been designing, creating and making for over 20 years and is based in Wellington. They are inspired by aotearoa’s unique species and aim to evoke and celebrate the natural environment rather than impact on it. They aim to use natural materials for making and packaging as well as using local suppliers. 

We are proud to stock their certified NZ Made products which make a wonderful memento or gift from Tiritiri Matangi Island.

All proceeds go towards our conservation and education programmes on Tiritiri Matangi Island - thank-you for your support!
