Pūniu (Shield Fern) Earrings – A Gift of Protection | Handmade Native Plant Jewellery

🌿 Pūniu – Prickly Shield Fern (Polystichum vestitum) 🌿

Handcrafted in New Zealand, these native plant earrings are inspired by the Pūniu (prickly shield fern) — a symbol of protection, resilience, and connection in te ao Māori.

In Māori tradition, ferns represent life, guardianship, and renewal, linking us to our whakapapa (ancestry), the whenua (land), and the presence of those who walked before us. The name Pūniu blends softness (pū – to blow gently) with strength (niu – to glide, to shape) — reminding us that true protection is both fierce and gentle.

Why you’ll love them:

• Healing energy inspired by native Aotearoa flora

• Lightweight and comfortable to wear all day

• A meaningful gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or life transitions

• Unique handcrafted design – no two pairs are alike

Wearing Pūniu earrings is like carrying a forest shield — a grounding talisman that encourages you to trust your path, listen to your intuition, and honour the wisdom of your ancestors.

A gift of Pūniu is a wish:

May you walk supported.
May you trust your steps.
May you be protected in all seasons of life.
