12Kangaroos Wearables

One of a kind. Once it's gone, it's gone.

These 12 Kangaroo earrings are a little wild and wonderfully grounded. Rough-cut lapis lazuli, left just as the earth shaped it, sits against natural stone and is anchored on a warm brass base. Each pair feels like a talisman: deep blue skies, ancient rock, and the quiet strength of the kangaroo in motion. Designed in the Adelaide Hills on the women's river, a place where crafting, weaving, and storytelling have always flowed hand-to-hand, these earrings honour slow making, intuition, and imperfect beauty. No two are the same, because nature never repeats herself, and neither do you.

Scan a card with your phone, or simply tap through to buy on Etsy or Depop.
