A flowing, sculptural form drawn from the seed pods of Aotearoa's native kōwhai tree — undulating between 2.5mm and 5mm wide as the pod forms rise and fall around the wrist. Available in two internal diameters. Small batch production; if not in stock, allow 2–3 weeks for making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sterling silver (925) or silicon bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 2.5mm–5mm (undulating — follows the pod form)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Softly rounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes: 65mm internal diameter \/ 68mm internal diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess: Lost wax cast, hand-finished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Mt Eden, Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose from two internal diameters:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInternal Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCloser fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.4g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLooser fit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.3g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure which size to choose? \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eGet in touch\u003c\/a\u003e and I'll help you find the right fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose Your Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSterling Silver (925) — NZD $430.00\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright, polished, and classic.

Silicon bronze carries a rich caramel tone that deepens and evolves with wear — no two pieces age the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyle \u0026amp; Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kōwhai is one of those trees that marks time in Aotearoa — the yellow blooms arrive in spring, the tūī follow, and then the pods hang long and curved from the branches like quiet ornaments. This bangle begins there: with the pod form, translated into metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape undulates gently around your wrist — no hard edges, no flat planes. Just a soft, sculptural curve that catches light in motion. Solid enough to hold its own, light enough to reach for without thinking. Made to sit comfortably alone or to join a stack with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a piece with a little bit of home in it. A wearable nod to something native and enduring — something you carry every time you wear it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also carries real material significance as a gift. The sterling silver version speaks directly to a 25th wedding anniversary — silver, handcrafted, and made to last. The caramel bronze speaks to the 8th and 19th wedding anniversaries. Both are pieces that hold meaning beyond the moment they're given.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.herbertandwilks.co.nz\/products\/kowhai-pod-drop-earrings\"\u003eKōwhai Pod Drop Earrings\u003c\/a\u003e for a considered botanical set.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HerbertandWilks Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Sterling Silver (925) \/ 68mm","offer_id":52467659276601,"sku":"KPB-SS-68","price":430.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sterling Silver (925) \/ 65mm","offer_id":52467659309369,"sku":"KPB-SS-65","price":430.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Caramel Bronze \/ 68mm","offer_id":52467186958649,"sku":"KPB-B-68","price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Caramel Bronze \/ 65mm","offer_id":52467186991417,"sku":"KPB-B-65","price":250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/0668\/2937\/files\/kowhai-pod-bronze-bangle-159502.jpg?v=1776752041","url":"https:\/\/www.herbertandwilks.co.nz\/products\/kowhai-pod-bangle","provider":"HerbertandWilks Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
