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 from the sky. Tupuārangi is linked to nga manu (birds).
For this collection we drew inspiration from the manu, the kererū, the kākā and the kāhu. We have also used the overall theme of Tupuārangi as a hunter of birds.
The main tohu (pattern) for Tupuārangi is the kākā pōria, which are small leg rings usually fashioned from bone or stone such as pounamu. This was so that the birds could become mōkai (pet) which were then used to help hunt more Kākā birds.

These are beautifully designed and bold earrings that are definitely a statement piece. This set will compliment any of Nichola's clothing. Looking forward to wearing them with the mustard coloured cape.
