Saving the planet two pods at a time...
Luruk-In is an Australian Aboriginal Art business, founded by proud Taungurung, Wotjobaluk, Wemba Wemba and Boon Wurrung woman Aimee McCartney. Aimee was born and raised on Wurundjeri country in Naarm, Melbourne and currently lives on Gunaikurnai Country (Victoria).
An emerging contemporary Aboriginal artist, Aimee’s vibrant approach to life coupled with her strong ancestral and cultural identity allows her to create unique, intricate and eye-catching artworks on canvas. With a mixture of bright colours and textures, Aimee explores modern society through the looking glass of the world’s oldest living culture.
Aimee’s strongest inspiration comes from her Country, its waterways and mountains, its sand, soil and shells. Aimee’s hope is to continue the sacred tradition of Storytelling through art and to inspire people to connect and learn about First Nations’ culture, history, stories and language.

I love my new Pretty Pods earrings! So many gorgeous choices - too many to choose! And the added bonus of savinging the planet!
I have never worn big or dangly earrings ever, but Pretty Pods have converted me. I love them and now have 4 pairs! Not only do they look good they are eco friendly, that's awesome!
My mum and I absolutely LOVE your earrings, we bought 7 pairs and I am soooo in love. I wore them to work and had sooo many comments on how good they looked.
You're amazing, my favourite items to wear now.
I am totally obsessed with these earrings!! 3 pairs already and I am positive my collection will keep growing...
They are so light and look fantastic! #thankyou

Thank you for visiting Pretty Pods store.
With the current negative impact that waste is having on our natural environment. Pretty Pods is making a small move towards recycling and reusing products readily adding to today's landfill.
A school excursion to our local Recycling Plant / DUMP with one of my daughters, and a trip to the seaside markets in Byron Bay with friends, sparked my desire to create these unique one off earrings.
I started creating pod earrings for myself and as birthday gifts for friends. Leading to the creation of Pretty Pods and then came Art on Ears, a collaboration with Australian Artists, a beautiful, affordable way to collect a piece Australian art.
You can find me at local markets here in SA & in multiple shop fronts across Adelaide.
I love nothing more than seeing my pretties on ladies of Adelaide and beyond. I hope you love these unique, fun, lightweight and versatile earrings as much as I do!
DID YOU KNOW: Aluminium pods can take between 150 - 500 years to begin to breakdown in landfill. Australians consume an average of 3 million coffee pods a day!!!
