Forged Copper Kina Pendant with Chain

 From the Kina Collection - a sterling silver pendant with copper kina.  This piece is one of a kind and has been designed to be rustic and imperfect.

It reminds me there is beauty in imperfection.

“There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.” - Dr Steve Maraboli 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.
