JTaranaki Hallmark Earrings

Sterling silver hand made hallmark stud earrings

From JTaranaki: Our hallmark depicts Nga Kete – the 3 baskets of knowledge. An ancient Maori legend where Tane – god of forests and birds – traveled to the heavens to collect the baskets of knowledge and bring them back to humankind. A quest for enlightenment. We believe that we are all on that quest as individuals and collectively as a human race. Tane encounters many struggles on his journey, battling plagues of insects and reptiles sent to him by an older brother who felt more deserving of the 3 baskets. The legend highlights that to master skills or develop knowledge takes effort and persistence. Nothing worthwhile comes easy.
