Karure Black Robin Earrings - BotY2026 | Recycled 3D Printer Waste

The 2026 Bird of the Year is here: The Karure Black Robin!

Also available in stud form here.

The Karure (Chatham Island Black Robin) has one of the most remarkable survival stories in Aotearoa. In 1980, just five black robins remained, including a single breeding female, Old Blue. Through dedicated conservation efforts, the species was brought back from the brink.

Now with a population of around 350, the Black Robin represents resilience, recovery, and the power of conservation. Its story shows that even when things seem beyond saving, giving nature a chance can make all the difference.

You can help support our lovely forest manu and other impressive birds by purchasing and wearing this sustainable design - $2 from each pair sold goes to Forest & Bird to support their conservation mahi. 

Dimensions: 1.4 x 2cm.
Hooks: Hypoallergenic (silver in colour), clip on option available (silver in colour, comment at checkout if you would like clip on). 

Made in Christchurch, NZ by Remix Plastic. We always ship plastic free. 

NOTE: Each pair of earrings is unique with its own colours (and blemishes). They are fully functioning and we celebrate their uniqueness, as we hope you do! Please get in touch if you are not satisfied with your purchase and we will do what we can to resolve any issues in a timely manner.
