Jade Chip Earrings

Nephrite Jade Chip Earrings

These jade chips have tumbled their way down from deep in Southern Alps in the South Island of New Zealand, along riverbeds before arriving at the coast. A stone millions of years in the making, a product of volcanic upheaval and culturally significant to the Tangata Whenua or traditional owners. At some point this jade has been collected, cut, shaped and polished to be used for jewellery or cultural taonga (treasures),

Suspended from sterling silver fittings these earrings resonate with the very heart and soul of Aotearoa, New Zealand. Known by Maori as pounamu and instantly recognised my travellers worldwide as greenstone, you are instantly recognised as someone with a connection to New Zealand.

These boho style earrings are a little bit different. They enable you to stand out as you enter a room. They catch the attention of others and help start conversations. How lucky are you? Buy a set for yourself or as a gift for someone special.
