New Zealand Fantail Earrings

This earring design celebrates the New Zealand fantail's spectacular tail—naturally! This energetic little bird has a gorgeous neutral colour palette, which we've represented with marble acrylics in black, white, honey orange and chocolate brown, with just a hint of sparkle. These hoops are easy to wear and have a delightful swinging movement to them.

More Details

The fantail has many different Māori names, including pīwakawaka, tīwakawaka, tīwaiwaka, or tīrairaka. They are small birds with a unique flight pattern for catching insects in the air, aided by their beautiful broad tail which fans out for precise balance and control. They are a treasured native bird of New Zealand!

Due to the nature of individually handmade items, there may be small imperfections present. Though we have taken care to capture the true colours of each pair, colours may vary on different screens.

Packaging that really tells a story—Learn more about these beautiful birds with our bespoke earring cards, carefully researched and designed by us for every single bird in our flock.

A portion of the profits from earrings sold in our New Zealand collection will be donated to the Kākāpō Recovery Programme.

Wonderful

These were my first hoops from Binkbu and they did not disappoint. My insanely sensitive ears have no trouble wearing these for a full day and then putting them right back on the next morning.

Love these piwakawakas (fantails)

I've had so many comments on these, they are certainly an attention grabber due to their size. Very easy to wear due to how lightweight they are.

Inspired by wild things, made for wild things.
