What's so amazing about Tuna?! Let me tell you

Our Tuna Earrings celebrate one of Aotearoa's most extraordinary travellers. Inspired by the tuna (New Zealand freshwater eels), these elegant earrings honour a species with an incredible life cycle.

After spending decades in New Zealand's rivers and lakes, adult tuna undertake an massive migration thousands of kilometres into the Pacific Ocean to spawn. Their journey ends there, but the next generation begins. Tiny transparent larvae drift back towards New Zealand before making their way into our rivers and lakes, where they can spend decades growing before continuing the cycle.
