Koru Earrings

Koru Earrings - Pounamu, Bone and Pāua Jewellery:

Koru earrings bring one of Aotearoa New Zealand's most recognisable designs into everyday jewellery. Inspired by the unfurling silver fern frond, the koru is traditionally associated with new beginnings, growth and renewal. Our collection includes pounamu greenstone earrings, carved bone koru designs, pāua shell earrings and contemporary acrylic styles.

The range features open koru, triple koru, multi-koru and retro-inspired designs, alongside matching necklace and earring sets.

Pounamu Greenstone Koru Earrings:

Our New Zealand pounamu earrings include elongated drop and teardrop designs featuring carved koru motifs.

The Greenstone Drop Koru Earrings feature a 69mm stone with a full drop length of approximately 98mm. These earrings have a polished finish that highlights the natural colour variations of genuine New Zealand pounamu.

The collection also includes 65mm Pounamu Teardrop Koru Earrings, offering another interpretation of the traditional spiral design.

Carved Bone Koru Earrings:

Bone koru earrings form an important part of the collection, with designs handcrafted from beef bone.

Choose from Open Koru, Closed Koru, Triple Koru and Multi Koru earrings, along with Enchanted Koru Stain Bone Drop Earrings.

The Bone Triple Koru Earrings feature a 25mm diameter carving. As individual bone pieces are carved by hand, slight variations can occur between earrings.

The collection also includes Double Manaia Bone Earrings with Koru detailing, combining two traditional Māori-inspired design elements.

Pāua Shell and Acrylic Koru Earrings:

For a more colourful appearance, the range includes lightweight acrylic drop earrings featuring New Zealand pāua shell.

Retro Koru designs are available in Squiggle, Round, Long, Arch and Teardrop shapes. These laser-cut earrings feature stainless steel, nickel-free components and are supplied in gift boxes.

The collection also includes Pikorua Acrylic and Pāua Earrings, offering an alternative curved design.

Matching Koru Jewellery Sets:

For coordinated jewellery, the Bone Koru Necklace and Earring Set combines carved bone earrings with a matching pendant.

The necklace pendant measures approximately 58 x 25mm and is attached to a braided cord with adjustable slip knots.

Choosing the Right Koru Earrings:

Consider the material, design and drop length when selecting koru jewellery.

Pounamu earrings highlight natural greenstone, while carved bone designs offer traditional-looking detailing. Acrylic and pāua earrings introduce colour and contemporary shapes.

For longer statement earrings, compare the full drop measurements rather than the decorative component alone. Check individual fitting details, particularly when selecting earrings for sensitive ears.
