Earrings - Kia Māia

The Kia Māia earrings feature a mangopare pattern flowing down toffee coloured satin. The pattern is an ode to strength and tenacity. The long satin ribbons pay homage to historical images of tāne and wāhine adorning their ears in similar ways.

Kia Māia.  Be brave.
For we are here to stand beside you.
Lush rich toffee coloured satin ribbon earrings featuring a mangōpare design.  
The mangōpare (hammerhead shark) pattern can reflect courage and strength.

The design is a gentle reminder that courage and strength come from within flowing through whakapapa and also from connections and relationships beyond ourselves.  Draw strength where you need to.

The long satin ribbons pay homage to historical images of tāne and wāhine adorning their ears in similar ways.
