Nargula Jarndu Earrings with Birndany (Stingray) Design by Martha Lee

Description

These stunning earrings feature a bold stingray design by Yawuru-Karajarri artist Martha Lee, who has spent most of her life in Rubibi (Broome). Stingrays, or birndany, are a vital food source for Yawuru people and are especially enjoyed during Laja Season (October to December), when they are at their fattest.

The design is handcrafted from acrylic, showcasing a shimmering blue mirror stingray with a soft grey reverse that subtly allows the blue to shine through. A lilac circle top connects the design, adding a playful contrast. Stainless steel, nickel-free posts ensure comfort and durability.

Measuring approximately 7cm in length, these earrings celebrate cultural heritage with a contemporary flair, making them a striking addition to any outfit.

Nagula Jarndu, meaning “Saltwater Woman,” is an Indigenous women-led arts and textiles enterprise based in Broome, Western Australia. It empowers Aboriginal women to create handcrafted works inspired by their stories and connection to the land and sea.
