The Tui is a boisterous and colourful bird, feeding on nectar and singing complicated songs throughout forested New Zealand. It is recognisable for the white feathery tuft under its beak, and its iridescent green, blue and black feathers.

Sterling silver long thin feather is 33mm long, hand painted in iridescent greens and 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.
