In honour of the mighty crayfish that are functionally extinct in the Hauraki Gulf, here are some lobster earrings.

Crayfish in Aotearoa are in crisis, completely overfished commercially and recreationally.

I wish that we could appreciate them as the cool animal they are without eating them. A lot of the earrings I make are to break paradigms like “lobster is food” or “insects are ugly”.

These are made of volcanic rock beads and gold-plated fittings.
