The Coolamon earrings are super light, being made from sustainable bamboo with surgical steel hooks. Wear them to make a statement about women, or wear them because they're fabulous. Your choice.

The Coolamon was traditionally used by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers to hold and protect their children. Women also used them to carry tools, food, and sometimes, water.

This design was inspired by the NAIDOC 2018 theme 'because of her I can' which acknowledged and celebrated the significant roles that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women have played – and continue to play – in the community.

The Designer and maker behind The Koorie Circle is Gunditjmara woman Laura Thompson. Lara's collection comprises contemporary Aboriginal designed and inspired pieces that tell a story, celebrating the culture, history and identity of Aboriginal Australia.
