Kina Shell Earring Silver

Tiamāni "Moana" Collection – Kina Shell Earrings (Silver)
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).

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 silver 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.
