Celebrate the rising of Matariki, the Māori New Year, with these beautiful earrings. Inspired by the Pleiades star cluster, these 18mm x 8mm handcrafted oval beads hang gracefully from sterling silver hooks.
Matariki is the Māori name for the Pleiades star cluster, which appears in the winter sky, marking the Māori New Year. More than just a celestial event, Matariki is a time for reflection, remembrance, and new beginnings. It's a period to honour those who have passed, celebrate the present, and look forward to the future with hope and anticipation. Matariki was a time for planting, harvesting, and spending time with whānau (family), sharing stories, and celebrating the promise of a new year.
