Silver Kotare Earrings

These peaceful Kōtare earrings are cleverly cast in sterling silver from an original Tania Mallow carving, finished with sterling silver hooks.

The Kōtare (Sacred Kingfisher) is a native treasure to New Zealand. These talented fishers are spotted near waterways silently contemplating and have a reputation for their silent and calm demeanor. Tania's design captures the peaceful features of this enigmatic bird perfectly as he looks over his shoulder and smiles sweetly.

The bird range has a beautiful weighty feel. Like many of Tania Mallow's other pieces they are created with comfort and quality at the forefront. Materials are not spared on her jewellery and wearing them feels amazing. These earrings are enhanced by a skillful oxidization technique which brings the carved lines to life.
