Bone carve Roimata tear drop earrings are laser etched in Māori design

The design is a Patikitiki that refers to the flounder—a flat fish that’s not only prized as a Kai (food source). Its pattern often represents abundance, hospitality, and nourishment, both physical and spiritual.

Shape & Flow: The natural form of the flounder lends itself to fluid, symmetrical motifs—ideal for bone carving, especially earrings that sway gently with movement.

Spiritual Resonance: Wearing Patikitiki is not just decorative; it symbolizes the wearer's connection to sustenance and gratitude, honoring the Mauri (life force) of what nourishes us.

Packaging:  Comes in a black leather bound box with black leather pad.

Earring hooks: Sterling silver plated.
