Ponga Earrings by Nick Feint, Stone Arrow - Golden Bay A classic straight drop earring sandblasted with an eye-catching design inspired by the patterns seen on a ponga log. Designe d and handmade right here in our workshop in Golden Bay from up-cycled bottles and recycled sterling silver hooks. Measurements excluding hook: 44mm(l) x 10mm(w) x 3mm(d) Length with hook: 60mm Created from Brown recycled glass (boutique beer bottle). Ponga is actually a fern and not a tree, and referred to as a "tree fern". The well-recognised pattern that can be seen on the trunk of a ponga is what remains after the fronds have died and fallen away. Ponga logs have been used historically by Māori for building structures and are nowadays incorporated into modern-day landscaping. (all measurements are approximate) Due to the nature of the process and the use of recycled materials, colour and size may vary slightly from photo Show more
