Te Hoahoa

Mō Reflection Ngā Whakakai

Ko Reflection he takirua whakakai hangarite-kore i hangaia mai i te koura mā 18ct kua whakamahia anō. Ka kumea te koura hei waea hei hanga i te tinana o te whakakai matua. Ka mau te whakakai mauī nui ake ki te taringa mā te matau karapoti, ā, ko te whakakai matau he tia iti. Ka taea te whakapiri i tētahi wāhanga tautau motuhake ki tētahi o ngā whakakai, ka taea rānei te kuhu ki runga i te mekameka ka mau hei whakapaipai uma. Kua whakanohoia ā-ringa ngā hāpaira me ngā taimana mā te whakanoho pata me te whakanoho karapoti. I whakaaweawetia te hoahoa e te manu e mātakitaki ana i tōna ake atapō i roto i te wai, me te rerekētanga i waenga i te taha e whakaaturia ana me te taha e hunaia ana.
