The Native Huia bird was the most sacred of NZ birds to Maori, and regarded as Tapu - Sacred. The white-tipped tail feathers were worn as head adornments to signify chiefs and people of great mana. Huia birds also mated for life, and were most always found in pairs – symbolised by the two intertwining feathers. 

Presented in a gorgeous little eco friendly glass bottle with cork lid.

Each piece is made with fine brass and coated in 18kt gold, rose gold or sterling silver and then covered with a clear tarnish resistance to protect them from the elements.
