Takahe are large, flightless and colourful birds. Tenacious survivors, they were thought to be extinct until rediscovered in 1948.  

Sterling silver feather with koru detail is 23mm long, hand-painted in iridescent bright blues on a 450mm sterling silver chain.

Nicki Cliff jewellery is intentionally dainty and delicate, and care should be taken when wearing and storing each piece. It is recommended that the jewellery is not worn while exercising, swimming, gardening, showering, cleaning, or sleeping. Pieces should be stored out of direct sunlight and away from moisture, excessive heat, or cold, and should not be kept in the bathroom. Avoid contact with household chemicals, perfumes, creams, and hairsprays or gels.

While Nicki would be delighted for her jewellery to be worn and enjoyed often, the longevity of hand painted and 24k gold embellished pieces will be extended if they are not worn on a daily basis.
