New Zealand Pāua Shell Roimata Drop Earrings – 925 Sterling Silver Fish Hook Dangles
Crafted from vibrant New Zealand Pāua shell, these Roimata (tear drop) earrings shimmer with the iridescent colours of the ocean — blues, greens, purples, and deep-sea silvers. Mounted on 925 sterling silver fish hook earrings with secure jump rings, each pair offers a fluid, natural elegance that connects earth and sea.
Each Roimata shape is a traditional Māori design, symbolising healing, emotional release, and the flow of knowledge or spirit. Worn close to the heart and head, they are often associated with tears of compassion and deep connection to one’s journey.
