Elevate your style and embrace the natural world with our meticulously crafted Recycled Swamp Kauri Wood Polynesian Roimata Tear Drop Earrings. These exquisite earrings pay homage to the past and Polynesian culture, handcrafted from reclaimed Swamp Kauri wood. At the bottom of each tear drop, a single chip of serene Serpentine Pounamu is artfully inlaid and set with UV resin. Suspended gracefully on 925 Sterling Silver fish hooks, these earrings become wearable talismans of both ancient wisdom and spiritual grounding.

Swamp Kauri's Earthly Wisdom: Crafted from reclaimed Swamp Kauri wood, known as black wood in English, these earrings carry the essence of ancient knowledge. Kauri trees are revered for their strength, endurance, and deep connection to the earth. The wood's rich, honeyed tones evoke grounding and a sense of unity with nature.

Swamp Kauri, found exclusively in the North Island of New Zealand, is more than just wood; it's a living chronicle of the nation's natural history and its profound link to Māori culture. These ancient Kauri trees, which grew over millennia, have been preserved in the swamps for thousands of years, bearing witness to the evolution of New Zealand's landscapes and its indigenous peoples. Extracted with utmost care, Swamp Kauri is a testament to sustainability, as it's sourced from previously submerged timber. Its honeyed hues and deep resonance make it highly sought after for carving and craftsmanship, aligning beautifully with Māori traditions that honor the natural world and its enduring significance in their culture. As a symbol of both timelessness and connection, Swamp Kauri continues to bridge the past, present, and future, echoing the deep-rooted ties between the land and its people. The living kauri are now a highly protected species.

Polynesian Roimata Symbolism: The Polynesian Roimata Tear Drop shape is an emblem of Polynesian culture, symbolizing the flow of life, healing, and protection. It reflects the idea of embracing life's journey with resilience and grace, a tribute to the spirit of Polynesian traditions.

Serpentine Pounamu's Spiritual Connection: Each tear drop features a single chip of Serpentine Pounamu inlaid at the bottom, symbolizing the spiritual essence of this sacred stone. In Māori culture, Pounamu is highly regarded as a taonga (treasure) embodying harmony, protection, and the connection between people and the land.

925 Sterling Silver Fish Hooks: The earrings are elegantly hung on 925 Sterling Silver fish hooks, adding a touch of elegance to their natural charm. These hooks represent purity and clarity, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the earrings.
