New Zealand Tuatara 5 Cents Hand Cut Coin Earrings

Bring a piece of New Zealand’s natural history to your jewelry collection with these distinctive New Zealand Tuatara 5 Cents Hand Cut Coin Earrings. Each pair is handcrafted from authentic New Zealand five-cent coins, carefully hand cut to preserve the iconic tuatara design.

The tuatara is a unique reptile native to New Zealand and the sole surviving member of an ancient reptile lineage dating back to the age of dinosaurs. Its appearance on the five-cent coin made it one of New Zealand’s most recognizable coin designs, featuring a tuatara resting on a rocky shoreline, with a gull in the background. 

Each earring is made with an authentic New Zealand 5 cent coin dated from 1967–1985 and finished with sterling silver wire hooks. Choose between a naturally aged patina or a bright 24k gold plated finish for a look that suits your style.
