Dopamine dressing at its finest and a beautiful treat to myself.

I am not much of a jewellery girl, rings don't suit my stubby fingers and necklaces don't flatter my short neck, but the one thing I can wear is earrings. So when I came across the Contemporanea stall at the Martinborough fair I was in earring heaven. All the earrings were beautiful, truly unique and had a great story behind them, whether being made from recycled materials, coming from an exotic locale or from a small studio wahine craftsperson. It was a difficult choice, in the end I settled on this pair of bright pink earrings made from leather. They are easy to wear being super light weight, and the fabulous colours always bring a smile to my face whenever I am having a grey day. Dopamine dressing at its finest and a beautiful treat to myself. Thank you Dani for sourcing these beautiful pieces and bringing them to our corner of the world.

Feeling magical and iridescent

What drew you to this piece?
Like a bee to a blossom, the colours and contours of the jewellery drew me in. But even deeper, the resonance of the intention at the heart of this business - to share, celebrate and support artists and craftspeople. 

How do you feel when wearing it?
I feel magical and iridescent. They are big energy earrings but are so light to wear and very comfortable.

Do you wear it daily or for special occasions?
I am a “everyday is a cause for celebration” kind of person. 

Have you read about the artist?
Yes and i love sharing with my friends in Australia too.

Wearing their earrings truly makes you feel special

I’m incredibly happy with all the earrings I’ve purchased from Contemporanea. Knowing each piece is ethically made adds even more meaning to supporting the amazing mahi of such beautiful and talented wāhine. Every design is unique, and wearing their earrings truly makes me feel special. The colours, materials, and overall look and feel are just stunning. I highly recommend treating yourself to a piece or two!

Finding joy supporting creatives making handmade, ethical pieces

“Such a lovely, welcoming atmosphere at Contemporanea’s pop up event and so many beautiful pieces on display. I was certainly spoiled for choice, but I chose these earrings for their unique design and use of colour and materials. They are so lightweight to wear, but have big visual impact. I’ve received many compliments whilst wearing them. I feel lucky to wear something that is bespoke and stunning. It’s a pleasure to support creatives making handmade, ethical pieces. Dani has such an amazing eye for finding talented makers who produce quality jewellery that’s a delight to wear.”

Honouring and caring for the creators

"I don't buy fancy clothes, I have three children and we have four chickens and a vege garden :-) But I do love earrings, and I do love art that is accessible, that can be part of our daily lives. Dani's curated collections for me are more than earrings - it's such a beautiful way of bringing in usable art in a way that not only catches the eye, but also cares for the creators. I care about knowing where these earrings come from, who made them, and that they are also being honoured for their work. And these particular earrings... I put them on one morning as I was getting ready for work and my daughter looked at me very surprised. "Are you going out? In the morning?" She was a bit shocked that I wear to work earrings that are, in her words, "outrageously fancy"

Treating myself

"I was really drawn to the moon-like quality of these beautiful earrings, and couldn’t resist treating myself to them. I love how they catch the light and how unique they are. They are really comfortable to wear too. Thanks so much!"

A purchase that supports a local business supporting women’s jewellery art

"My partner gifted me some stunning earrings by Terra for Christmas. He said he chose them because he thought the colours would pop against my dark hair. They’re really gorgeous, so colourful and light to wear. They’re soft and flexible too, really comfortable to put on then forget you even wear them. I’m getting lovely compliments every single time I wear them! They do brighten any kind of outfit I might be wearing. It’s lovely to know that this purchase supports a local business supporting women’s jewellery art."

Bringing a smile to everyone I meet

"As soon as I saw the first stunning Contemporanea Collection, I fell in love with each and every piece! The bold colours and interesting designs really caught my eye. I bought my Mother-in-law a pair for her birthday and I couldn’t resist a wee treat for myself!

We both receive compliments on them wherever we go! I just love how they seem to bring a smile to everyone I meet ♥️"

Ready to play and shine New Orleans style

"When I saw some earrings on Dani’s Contemporanea Facebook story, they caught my eye. Sparkling bright gold, with a bit of ‘razzle dazzle’, I knew they would be perfect for wearing while performing with my band, the ‘Hoot ‘n’ Annie’s’. Gold and black are our uniform colours and we often play in the evenings so the sparkles were perfect. They are really great quality too. It was nice to buy something a bit different, while supporting a great new local business."

Love my new feather earrings

"I just love the beautiful pair of earrings I purchased from Contemporanea earlier this year. Such a unique color palette and crafted with the utmost care. Many thanks Dani Fuenzalida for your great eye and prompt service!"

Inspiring and enhancing my self-confidence and creativity

"When I saw my friend Dani was curating a jewellery collection of handmade ethical jewellery made by women artists, I was very excited to support her and the independent artists around the world who she caringly selected by their ethos and aesthetics.
I chose my earrings based on the style and colours, I loved the feather style, made out of leather and handpainted wood, I knew that wearing them would add a sense of funky inspiration to my mood and enhance my self-confidence and creativity.
I bought 2 colour ways, one for daily wear and one which matches my dance performance outfits. The daily earrings have sparkly silver and blues, which keep my mood calm and fluid with a little bit of spark, and the dance earrings are bright red with multi-coloured accents. The red enhances my energy and makes me feel fiery, expansive and connective.
When I wear my Rossymina earrings, I feel bold, confident and free to move, create and express myself."

Supporting people who make things from the heart

"I fell in love with native american style and when I saw these it kind of reminded me of that style so I went immediately to YES THOSE ARE COOL. I love wearing them and particularly wear them when I'm dancing or for something special like my birthday as I feel super connected to them. I love representing and supporting people who make things from the heart and hope to keep supporting them so they can still create their art. Plus look at how groovy they are! Can't find anything like this anywhere else 🔥"

I found the ones that spoke to me

"I was so attracted to the beautiful jewellery on the website it was hard to choose! I picked a pair that I love, and get compliments on everytime I wear them. I love that they are unique, they are supporting artists and they feel like a mini piece of art to wear. Dani was so great at getting them to me and I loved how they came packaged with care and beauty. Will definatly be picking more pieces!"
