These beautiful earrings inspired by the New Zealand native bird,  the Tīeke, Saddleback have been made in Christchurch, New Zealand by Remix Plastic.

These duel feather earrings are made from gold and black ice cream container lids and drape over one another like the tail feathers of the Saddleback.

 The Tīeke is one of the most recognisable bird species in New Zealand due to its bold plumage markings, loud vocalisations and distinctive orange-red wattles. Saddlebacks are in the endemic New Zealand ‘wattlebird’ family (Callaeidae), along with kokako and the extinct huia.

All pieces of Remix Plastic are made from local plastic waste diverted from landfill and are embedded with the concepts of kaitiakitanga (guardianship, protection, preservation) and circular economy. Each piece carries a sustainability story and makes them a tangible way to engage people in sustainability.
