Roimata
The Roimata, or teardrop design, is a popular motif that incorporates the Niho Taniwha (Teeth of the Taniwha) within the teardrop shape. This design can be found in taniko patterns on kakahu (cloaks and clothing) as well as in tukutuku panels within wharenui or whare tipuna on marae. The Niho Taniwha serves as a reminder to confront our challenges head-on and persevere through difficult times to attain the rewards that lie ahead.
Like all our earrings, they feature surgical steel findings and cushion backs to ensure a secure fit while wearing. Made from lightweight acrylic, they are available in a variety of colours.
