Inspiration for Our Kina Jewellery Collection

At Wildside Gifts, we wanted to honour this special taonga of the sea by creating a jewellery collection that captures the Kina’s distinctive beauty in solid sterling silver (925).

Our Kina-inspired range includes:

• Sterling Silver Kina Stud Earrings

• Sterling Silver Kina Drop Earrings

• Sterling Silver Kina Pendant Necklace

Each piece is designed here in New Zealand, drawing directly from the natural shell patterns of the Kina. The result is jewellery that feels both modern and organic — a timeless tribute to the coastal landscapes of Aotearoa.

A Symbol of the Sea and the Spirit of New Zealand

The Kina shell represents protection, nourishment, and balance — a meaningful symbol for anyone who loves the ocean or feels connected to New Zealand’s marine life and culture.

Visitors adore the Kina’s uniquely New Zealand form, while locals often treasure it as a reminder of summers spent at the beach, diving with whānau, or gathering kai moana together.

Crafted in Sterling Silver

Our Kina pieces are cast in high-quality sterling silver, highlighting the shell’s radial ridges and gentle curves. Whether worn as everyday jewellery or as a meaningful keepsake, the Kina collection carries with it the calm beauty of the sea.

A Beautiful Gift of Aotearoa

Perfect for ocean lovers, beach wanderers, and anyone who holds New Zealand close to their heart, our Kina jewellery makes a special gift — and a beautiful way to carry a piece of Aotearoa wherever life takes you.
