Sterling Silver Koru and New Zealand Paua ear-rings with handmade hooks. 

The koru is the Maori name given to the new unfurling fern frond and symbolizes new life, growth, strength and peace. Paua is the Maori name given to three species of large edible sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs which belong to the family Haliotidae (genus Haliotis), known in the USA as abalone and in the UK as Ormer shells.
