2 Kina Necklace

From the Kina Collection.

This necklace is designed with a sterling silver and copper kina hanging at the end of the chain, so you can alter it so the kina hang at different lengths.  Pair it up with another necklace for a layered look, or wear on its own.

The kina (sea urchin) is considered a delicacy to eat to New Zealanders.  These kina have been cast from kinas found washed up on the shores of Leigh (just north of Auckland, Aotearoa - New Zealand) after a storm by a friend of mine.  They remind me of connection, generosity, strength and survival.
