This collection is based on the star Tupuārangi (male), one of the stars in the Matariki Constellation. Tupuārangi is similar to Tupuānuku (the star of all cultivated and uncultivated food products) in terms of its connection to food and growth; however, in this instance he is associated with food that comes from the sky. Tupuārangi is linked to nga manu (birds). For this collection Nichola drew inspiration from the manu, the kererū, the kākā and the kāhu. Nichola has also used the overall theme of Tupuārangi as a hunter of birds. This earring is Nichola's Ngutu Kākā design based on the beak of the kākā bird.
Inspired by her heritage and upbringing as a woman of Māori and Pakeha descent, Nichola Te Kiri creates jewellery, fashion and homewares for her label Nichola. She believes in the importance of mahi- storytelling, through shared stories the taonga of her work comes alive, creating a unique contemporary Māori Design.
Made out of a green Perspex and finished with silver plated hooks.
