These earrings use original stamps, from the 1988 Bird Definitives range. These lovely little birds display so much character. They are one of 3 Penguins native to New Zealand. They are such delightful earrings - who can resist a penguin? Two stamps are used to make these earrings and each stamp will show a little of the postmark which is quite a lovely addition. 
Your earrings will be presented on a card before being gift wrapped and carefully packaged. Penguin postage stamp earrings come in a range of hypoallergenic settings, Copper, Lead, Nickel and Cadmium Free.

Fiordland Crested Penguin (Eudytes pachyrhynchus) - 80c_a
Three species of crested penguins are endemic to New Zealand but only one, the Fiordland crested, nests on the mainland. The other two, the Snares crested and the Erect-crested breed on New Zealand's sub-Antarctic islands.  Of the three the Fiordland crested is the most vulnerable today.  Where the other two breed in colonies of thousands, the Fiordland bird is listed by the Department of Conservation as rare.
Issued 2 November 1988.
