Kōwhai Pod Sterling Silver Bangle

For those who love yellow trees, winding forms, and jewellery with a sense of place

You might know the kōwhai for its joyful yellow blooms — they’re often the first sign of spring, catching the light and the tūī in equal measure. But after the flowers fall, the trees offer something else: long, curved seed pods, strung like ornaments along the branches.

That’s where this bangle begins.

You might be someone who stacks their jewellery. Who finds satisfaction in the quiet clink of silver on silver. Who’s always on the lookout for something that flows, rather than sits still.

This bangle moves. The shape undulates gently around your wrist — no hard edges, no flat planes. Just a soft, sculptural curve that catches light in motion. Made to sit comfortably, to hold its own, or to join your everyday stack with ease.

It’s jewellery with a little bit of home in it. A little bit unexpected. A little reminder of something native and enduring — something you carry, every time you wear it.

Why you’ll love it

• Sculptural form: The shape is drawn from nature — curved and flowing, never static.

• Deeply rooted: Inspired by the kōwhai seed pods found across Aotearoa, from gardens to riverbanks.

• Made for wearing: Solid sterling silver with a polished finish — this is a piece you’ll reach for daily.

• Designed to stack: Mix it with your favourites or wear solo — either way, it holds its own.
