Recycled Glass Rātā Flower Earrings

Glass discs cut from a recycled bottle, hand finished and tumbled, with an image of Rātā flower iron fused in our kiln onto the surface. The iron gives a reddish colour lending itself perfectly to the Rātā flower design.

Every step of the making is done by us here in the StoneArrow workshop, starting from core-drilling the discs from bottles, to being finished with handmade recycled Sterling Silver hooks. 

Rātā trees can live up to 1,000 years old and are best known for their brilliant red flowers appearing in profusion from November to January.  Similar looking to the also well-known Pōhutukawa tree in New Zealand, they benefit native birds who feed on the nectar - as well as native bees, bats and lizards!

Disc measurements: 20mm(diameter) x 3mm(d)

Length with hook: 35mm

Available in: Light Blue (Bombay Sapphire), Clear (Dancing Sands Gin)

Handmade in Takaka, Golden Bay, New Zealand.
