Etched Unisex Ring Band

Kowhaiwhai, these are the beautiful repeating patterns of traditional Maori design.  They differ from iwi to iwi, tribe to tribe and they tell the story of the history of the people; where they came from, where they are going, their legends, Gods and the connections and relationships that link us all together – the connections that make a family!

This gorgeous unisex ring features hand-drawn Maori kowhaiwhai patterns which are then etched into the metal to provide a relief pattern.  Each design drawn is different to the others and is intended to represent the vast diversity of, and connection between, souls and spirits in this world and in others.  The spirals, dots, lines and swirls tell the story of our history, our values and our family.

As Seen at NYFW

This piece is part of the New York Collection and was showcased at FlyingSolo, New York Fashion Week 2020

This collection celebrates the bravery of our collective ancestors who honoured the deep pull of adventure and exploration beyond their known world. No matter where in the world your blood-line journeys back to, our ancestors all chose to seek new shores and lands beyond their view, past the horizons they could see.

In this world of 2020, we experience a world that has contracted and closed down. It is a world that is dominated by fear of the unknown, anxiety about a future that we cannot see nor control. The New York collection takes that fear and turns it into intrepid curiosity.

Borrowing from those who come before us, this collection reminds us that the world is still beautiful, that it is full of opportunity to grow and learn and add value. Each piece offers us strength in adversity, freedom in confinement, courage to trust that the wind beneath our wings will not fail us.

Let us seek adventure, be intrepid and curious. Let us be resilient and brave; let us have hope!

"Hope” is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul.

And sings the tune without the words

and never stops at all.

And sweetest, in the Gale, is heard. And sore must be the storm.

That could abash the little Bird,

that kept so many warm.

 I’ve heard it in the chillest land, and on the strangest Sea.

Yet, never, in Extremity

it asked a crumb of me.

~Emily Dickinson~

About this collection:  THE SAGE

I am the seeker of wisdom and truth, from the universal spirits, angels and ancestors. My understanding the world and my place in it is a reflection of the knowledge that I learn from experience.

I understand that much of this knowledge originates from within my spirit. I am the eternal student, eager and willing to be forever open to all that brings growth and expansion. And in that growth I share the wisdom I discover on the way with others. I often find myself in my head, caught up in my thinking mind - and I use the beauty and wonder of the world around me to reconnect with my truth.

I am the sage
