Description

Hand-carved from ethically sourced whalebone, our Kōrere Taurima Earrings embody a sacred flow—where what descends is not lost, but received, held, and made meaningful. Kōrere reflects a guided descent, while taurima speaks to cherishing—holding with care, intention, and reverence. The square, tapered drops carry a quiet sense of order and containment, their defined faces catching the light and revealing the natural grain within the bone. Suspended lightly, they move with subtle rhythm—balancing structure with release—expressing the space between control and surrender. A form not simply worn, but carried.

Cultural Significance & Shipping Restrictions

Whalebone holds deep sacred meaning in te ao Māori, carrying the wairua (spirit) of the ocean’s great kaitiaki (guardians). Sourced from the whenua (land) and moana (sea) of Aotearoa, these taonga (treasures) are kept within the land of their origin. As such, we do not sell or ship internationally, honoring their mana (spiritual power) and the cultural values they represent.
