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 →

Botanical 🖤 Nature distilled in precious metals, textured, tactile, and alive
Pohutukawa Lace Leaf Earrings – fine silver and gold leaf from Aotearoa.
These Pohutukawa Lace Leaf Earrings are inspired by the curved leaves you spot on your walks around Maungawhau / Mt Eden. Each pair is crafted in fine silver and textured using embroidered silk lace to echo the delicate veins and edges of the real leaf. I then fuse 24 ct gold leaf to the surface using the Keum-Boo technique, creating that soft, golden shimmer that feels like sunlight catching the leaves on a clear summer day.
Lightweight, eye-catching and easy to wear, these dangle earrings have become one of my original best sellers. The mixed-metal detail makes them special, while the size keeps them comfortable enough for everyday wear. No two pairs are exactly the same, so yours will always feel like a one-off.
Why You’ll Love Them
- Inspired by real New Zealand Pōhutukawa leaves
- Fine silver with hand-applied 24 ct gold leaf

Care Instructions
To keep your Lace Leaf Earrings looking their best, store them in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and harsh chemicals. Gently wipe them with a soft cloth after wearing to maintain the fine silver and keep the gold leaf shimmering. Avoid abrasive polishing cloths on the gold leaf areas. With a little care, they’ll stay beautiful for years to come.
