The Native Huia was the most sacred of NZ birds to Maori as regarded as Tapu - Sacred. The white-tipped tail feathers were worn as head adornments to signify chiefs and people of great mana. Huia birds also mated for life, and were most always found in pairs – symbolised by the two intertwining feathers. 

These gorgeous Huia Feather necklace and earrings are delicate and beautiful pieces and look great on and make a lovely gift.

Each piece is made with fine brass and coated in sterling silver and then covered with a clear tarnish resistance to protect them from the elements. The Huia earrings are on hypoallergenic surgical steel posts.  The Huia necklace is on a chain that measures 46cms.

These lovely pieces are beautifully presented in a little eco friendly glass bottle with cork lid.

Little Taonga means treasure or prized possession in Maori. Each design captures a little something to be treasured - the places, nature and icons that make Aotearoa NZ  so special.

Cezanne Lyons, who is a Kiwi with Ngai Tahu, Rangitane and Ngai Kuta heritage, is the creator of this wonderful jewellery. After her beachside home in Kaikōura was rocked by a huge earthquake in 2016, she created her jewellery to 'celebrate the icons, nature, and places that make Aotearoa special'.
