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
Hand-carved wax pohutukawa flower charms cast in solid 925 sterling silver, washed with red enamel and wiped back for a dappled effect, with the tips oxidised to draw out the stamens — the detail that makes the pohutukawa unmistakable. Each charm is individually made — no two are identical. Available as charms only, a single charm on a 12mm sleeper, or a full pair.
Key Details
- Material: solid 925 sterling silver
- Charm dimensions: approx. 12–13mm wide × 15mm long

- Full earring length (charm + sleeper): approx. 25mm
- Finish: red enamel wash, wiped back for a dappled effect; sterling silver tips oxidised to highlight the stamens
- Each charm is handmade in Sally Herbert's Mt Eden studio — variation is part of the making
How to wear it

- Single — $70: One charm on a 12mm sterling silver sleeper. Wear alone or mix asymmetrically with another sleeper in your stack.
- Pair — $120: Two charms on two 12mm sterling silver sleepers. Ready to wear as a complete set.
Style & Inspiration
The pohutukawa is one of New Zealand's most iconic flowering trees — its crimson blooms mark midsummer and coastline in equal measure. This earring translates that flower into something wearable and lasting: a fluid, hand-carved form that keeps the looseness of the original rather than reaching for botanical precision.
The oxidised tips deepen the shadow at the stamen ends, giving each flower a quiet intensity — present enough to catch the light, subtle enough to wear every day.
Pairs beautifully with other pieces from the Botanical Flower collection.
