Manu Earrings
We are proud to introduce these beautiful pieces from Rerehua Boutique - the Manu earrings.
The flight pathways of manu (birds) were a significant indicator for navigators while they were traveling on the ocean. Certain species of manu would stay close to land masses, so if sighted then this would indicate if they were coming close to landfall. Early Polynesians were familiar with flock migration and the direction of flight could indicate seasonal change, climate variation, a food source, or distance to land. This design is a tribute to these precious manu.
This item is presented on a black card with gold Rerehua branding, perfect for presenting as a gift.
Available in 18K Gold and Rhodium Silver Plated Stainless Steel - Engraved 30mm Pendant pieces on 20mm Hoops.
Rerehua Boutique Stainless Steel Jewellery is non-tarnish, hypoallergenic, durable, beautiful and long lasting pieces that should be handled with care. Avoid contact with chemicals, chlorine or other liquids.
