Our Southern Cross, Māori likened it to an anchor, and early European
voyagers saw it as a cross. It is a
distinctive feature of the southern night sky and we pay homage to it at Pauanesia through a variety of beautiful products.
The newest being these intricate handmade earrings by local artist, Kairava. Kairava is a German born artist who immigrated to New Zealand in 1997
and is now based in West Auckland. She is a potter aswell as a jewellery maker.
The earrings are available
online here and in store.
We think the silver work is so wonderful that we are working on a new necklace design with it too, incorporating pearls. These are not yet but will soon be in store, see the sneak peak below and stay tuned!
