Large 60mm x 58mm circular brass earrings featuring double-sided Moko Kauae engravings and Sterling Silver ear-pins. Weighing 15g each and protected by a durable nano-coating, these statement earrings honor the sacred facial tattoos of Maori women, symbolizing female leadership, ancestry, and beauty.
These striking circular earrings are a modern tribute to the Moko Kauae, the traditional chin tattoo worn by Maori women. The intricate patterns etched into both sides of the brass represent a woman’s Whakapapa (family tree) and her high status (Mana) within her community. While the design is bold and large, it is crafted to be lightweight enough for daily wear. To ensure quality and comfort, the fasteners are made from genuine Sterling Silver, and a special nano-coating helps the brass keep its golden shine without tarnishing. More than just jewelry, these earrings are "wearable treasures" (Taonga) that celebrate the strength, courage, and identity of indigenous women.
