Jewellery Care Guide
Sterling Silver: Gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth to maintain shine. Silver Care Guide →
Solid Gold (9ct, 14ct, 18ct): Solid gold will not tarnish or peel, but it can gather oils and dust. Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to restore its brilliance.
18ct Gold Plate: Avoid water, perfumes, and lotions to preserve the gold layer. Gold Plate Care Guide →
Bronze: Over time, bronze develops a unique vintage patina. Polish to restore brightness or leave to age naturally. Bronze Care Guide →
Gemstones: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.

Botanical 🖤 Nature distilled in precious metals, textured, tactile, and alive
The Kowhai Leaf Charm Dangle Earrings capture new spring growth in solid sterling silver. Cast from prints of young kōwhai leaves gathered in Sally Herbert's Mt Eden garden, each charm is gently curved, oxidised to deepen the leaf detail, and finished with a soft satin lustre. At approximately 10mm wide by 25mm long and 2.6g in total, they're especially light and comfortable for everyday wear, carrying a quiet piece of Aotearoa with them.

Style & Inspiration
These earrings sit within HerbertandWilks' botanical work — jewellery cast directly from real New Zealand native plant forms. The soft curve and darkened leaf veins give an everyday earring a sculptural edge, and they make a meaningful gift for gardeners, nature lovers, or anyone missing home. They pair beautifully with the Kōwhai Pod Drop Earrings for a mixed-ear stack, or the Kōwhai Pod Bangle if you're building a whole look.
