– New Zealand pounamu manaia pendant
Hand-carved by Shaun Gardiner from luminous, semi-translucent pounamu (New Zealand jade), this striking manaia pendant blends contemporary edge with timeless artistry.
The precision of the carving highlights the exquisite detail of the design, while the silky-smooth finish enhances the natural glow of the stone. Paired with a refined olive green adjustable cord, a medium-sized pendant with bold presence - perfect for wearing high on the neck as a statement of strength and style.
The manaia, a revered guardian in Māori tradition, is a spiritual guide said to bridge the physical and celestial realms. Worn for protection and guidance, it symbolises the unseen light within, and connects to your ancestors.
A piece of striking modern craftsmanship with deep cultural significance, both a wearable work of art and a powerful talisman.
This pendant will be delivered to you with Express Courier on a hand plaited adjustable cord.
We will also include our 'Kia Ora' card, which explains the meaning behind the Manaia design.
