Huia Feather Necklace - Handpainted Silver

A striking black bird with a white band across its tail feather tips, the prized Huia bird was hunted to extinction. Huia were regarded as Tapu (sacred) by Māori, and the wearing of the beautiful feathers was reserved for people of high status.

• Handpainted in black porcelain paint, tinged with gold and tipped in white.
• Heart shaped koru detail on the tip of the feather.
• Made from Sterling Silver.
• The chain measures 450mm.
• Each feather is individually handpainted, so no two necklaces will be identical.

Lily Griffin

Nicki Cliff draws inspiration from her love for Aotearoa in creating her beautiful jewellery pieces. She began making jewellery in 2013 to evoke memories of her childhood in New Zealand, where she spent lazy holidays camping and exploring beach rock pools. With a background in painting and sculpture, she experimented with porcelain paint and fine silver to handcraft her pieces in her Auckland studio, where she balances her work with caring for her children; Lily and Griffin.
