In Te Reo Māori, `miro' means to twirl, twist and spin - perfectly fitting for Miromiro (NZ Tomtit) as it darts about the forest. This little bird was also nicknamed torotoro, or scout by Māori for its habit of appearing from nowhere in the forest, and varies in plumage from white to brown to black, with some male varieties sporting golden yellow chests.
Sterling silver feathers (24mm x 5mm including ring), hand painted with porcelain paint and hanging from sterling silver ear hooks. The porcelain paint is scratch and water resistant.

Please note:
Lilygriffin jewellery is dainty and delicate, so care must be taken when wearing and storing it.
Please do not wear while exercising, swimming, gardening, showering, cleaning or sleeping. Store in a soft protective pouch or box out of direct sunlight and away from moisture, excessive heat or cold. Please do not store in the bathroom. Avoid contact with household chemicals, perfumes, creams, and hairspray/gels.
I would be delighted if you wanted to wear my jewellery everyday, but please be aware that you will be able to enjoy your handpainted pieces longer if they are not worn on a day to day basis.
