Fantail Rimu Earrings

$25.00 NZD

These gorgeous Fantail Earrings are made from New Zealand rimu. Painted by hand, this unique set was designed and made right here in Wellington.

 

The warm tones of the timber contrast beautifully with the bright white detailing. These earrings add a lovely final touch to any outfit, and also make a fabulous gift. Suitable for sensitive ears, the nickel free posts are made from surgical steel.
