Charming sterling silver PVD kiwi drop earrings that celebrate New Zealand's most iconic flightless bird. Each kiwi hangs from a delicate sterling silver chain. They come presented in a Wildside Gifts jewellery box. Pair with the Kiwi Stud Earrings (XP76) or Kiwi Pendant (XP77) for a complete Kiwi collection. A delightful gift for anyone with a love of New Zealand.

According to the online Encyclopedia of New Zealand "there were once about 12 million kiwi, but because predators eat so many chicks, there are now fewer than 100,000. The Department of Conservation and many community conservation groups are helping to build up kiwi numbers. The Whakatane Kiwi Trust is one such organisation that "aims to promote the protection of kiwi and other indigenous species in the Whakatāne area, through advocacy, education and fundraising." The volunteer holding a large wild Kiwi, pictured on our information card is sporting a purple Whakatane Kiwi Trust T-shirt. You can support the trust by going to their website https://www.whakatanekiwi.org.nz/our-story/whakatane-kiwi-trust/.
