In Māori culture huia were rare, sacred birds, treasured for their plumes.  Their feathers were mostly worn by people of high rank. Credible sightings are recorded as late as the sixties.

The value of huia feathers went beyond rank, with a marekeo of 12 tail feathers worn as a war plume.  Feathers were also worn at tangi (funerals) and to decorate the heads of the deceased.

The huia is said to have been a quiet and social bird. They weren’t strong fliers and moved easily along the ground or amongst trees.

Huia had black feathers and the females had the distinct long beaks, which were great for digging into dead wood for bugs.  Their beaks were ivory white and they had twelve long tails feathers. The tail feathers have inspired our stunning recycled glass jewellery series about the huia.

All Stone Arrow handcrafted jewellery comes with gift packaging sharing the story behind the handmade design.

All our silver and copper is 100% recycled.
