Rata Flower disc Earrings

Glass discs cut from a recycled bottle, hand finished and tumbled, with an image of Rata flower iron fused in our kiln onto the surface. The iron gives a reddish colour lending itself perfectly to the Rata flower design.

Every step of the making is done by us here in the StoneArrow workshop, starting from core-drilling the discs from bottles, to being finished with handmade recycled Sterling Silver hooks. 

Rata trees can live up to 1,000 years old and are best known for their brilliant red flowers appearing in profusion from November to January.  Similar looking to the also well-known Pohutukawa tree in New Zealand, they benefit native birds who feed on the nectar - as well as native bees, bats and lizards!

Disc measurements: 20mm(diameter) x 3mm(d)

Length with hook: 35mm
