Kina Shell Earring Gold

Tiamāni "Moana" Collection – Kina Shell Earrings (Gold)
By Sina Potaka | Handmade in Aotearoa | Celebrating Tangaroa

A design celebrating one of the most treasured shells found in the beautiful waters of Aotearoa. These Kina Shell Earrings from the Tiamāni "Moana" Collection bring forth a standout, wearable connection to the realms of Tangaroa (god of the sea).

This gold edition is our more petite version of the larger silver design. Each kina shell boasts deep greens with distinguished raised speckles of white, every pair expressing individuality with a textured surface and natural variation in shape, making each set truly one of a kind.

A gold gilt has been carefully applied to the rear of each earring shell, a subtle yet striking detail that elevates these earrings from simple adornment to wearable art.
