Piupiu Hook Earrings

Piupiu Hook Earrings | Anna Balasoglou 

n these striking earrings, Anna Balasoglou reimagines the iconic rhythmic movement of the traditional Māori piupiu.

This contemporary interpretation translates the familiar swaying motion of dried flax strands into a sophisticated, wearable form made of sterling silver and alternating black accents.

The design features segmented, cylindrical beads that create a beautiful visual rhythm, echoing the high-contrast patterns found in indigenous textile craft.

Suspended from minimalist sterling silver hooks, these earrings offer a graceful, kinetic quality that celebrates heritage through a modern, artisanal lens. 

They serve as a refined tribute to the enduring silhouettes of Aotearoa, blending historical inspiration with clean, sculptural elegance.
