Kowhai Pod Drop Earrings – Bronze & Sterling Silver (Small Batch)

What are Kowhai Pod Drop Earrings?
Kowhai Pod Drop Earrings are hand-forged bronze earrings inspired by the distinctive seedpods of New Zealand's native kōwhai tree. Each pair features individually cast bronze pods (approximately 11mm) on sterling silver ear wires, with a total drop of around 22mm. They're lightweight, comfortable for all-day wear, and designed as an everyday piece with quiet cultural significance.

Small batch – only 4 pairs from this cast.

Once these four pairs are gone, this cast is finished. The next casting won't be until March. These Kowhai Pod Drops are one of those pieces people come back to again and again. Light, easy to wear, and quietly full of meaning.

The kōwhai pod is such a familiar shape here in Aotearoa — a small reminder of home, of place, of the landscape we move through every day. Each bronze pod is cast from wax, hand-worked, which means each pair comes out slightly different. No two are ever exactly the same.

Once these four pairs are gone, this cast is finished.
