Kōwhai Flower Earrings | by Tania Mallow

These beautiful Kōwhai  Earrings have been cleverly cast in sterling silver from an original Tania Mallow carving, finished with sterling silver hooks. 

Kōwhai is best known for their brilliant yellow flowers that appear in profusion in Spring and stand out among the forest greenery. 
Kōwhai are an important seasonal nectar food source for native birds such as Tui, bellbird and New Zealand wood pigeon/kererū/kūkū/kūkupa.
Kōwhai imagery is popular in art works and has been used on postage stamps and coins. 

Tania Mallow has had a deep-seated passion for crafting since the age of 8, and her journey began in her father's garage, where she discovered her love for creating jewellery using bits of wire and beads.

With a determined pursuit of a career aligning with her passion for jewellery and creativity, Tania invested time and energy, ultimately receiving formal training under the guidance of renowned Goldsmith Chris Schweder. By early 2005, Tania identified a market need for quality handmade jewellery combining affordability with beautiful design, leading to the official establishment of 'Tania Mallow Jewellery.' With two decades of showcasing her work through galleries and stores across New Zealand, Tania has cultivated a strong and diverse customer base.

“I love witnessing the journey of a piece of jewellery, from an idea scribbled on a scrap of paper to its formation and the final polish. It's a truly enjoyable process.”
