Tania Tupu Kārearea necklace - caramel

This stunning necklace is by Nelson based jeweller Tania Tupu.

The Kārearea/NZ falcon is said to carry a message of transition and change. This powerful visionary bird representing fearlessness, wisdom, and kaitiakitanga. This statement pendant piece features a proudly handcrafted 3-dimensional resin kārearea layered on a mustard coloured base, suspended on a long plated stainless steel chain.

Love the way the angled Kārearea head is turned to give you a bit of a side-eye!

The New Zealand Falcon or kārearea is one of our most threatened birds of prey with less than 8,000 birds remaining.  
Rarely seen and mistaken for the kāhu we need to be mindful and aware of what's happening around us and how our past persecutions and current ecological factors have lead to a decline in numbers.

Dimensions - pendant part is approx 9.6cm by 3cm, and the rose gold plated chain is 80cm long

This item comes packaged in a round Tania Tupu decorative gift box with a pine lid.

This necklace is handmade in New Zealand
