'Hinemoana ii' - Brass Earrings

✦ Hinemoana ✦

Wahine atua & kaitiaki of the ocean.

In Māori mythology, Hinemoana is the personification of the ocean - a powerful guardian and the mother of all marine life.

This piece is created to capture her fluidity, her strength and protective energy. Connecting you directly to the spirit of the sea.

✦ Paua Shell ✦

To Māori, the pāua shell is a sacred taonga (treasure) representing ancestral connection & resilience. Traditionally used as the gleaming eyes in wood carvings, it symbolizes the watchful protection of ancestors. Its iridescent, shifting colors reflect the beauty of the ocean, bringing emotional harmony, spiritual guidance, and strength during life's transitions.
