A timeless teardrop shaped pendant that carries deep spiritual significance in Māori culture. Its gentle form symbolises the flow of positive energy (mauri), offering healing, comfort, and strength through life's journey. Worn close to the heart it serves as a touchstone for meditation, grounding the wearer in the wisdom of the land and ancestors.
The Koru, shaped like an unfurling fern frond, embodies new life, growth, and infinite possibilities. Its gentle spiral carries a deep sense of peace and spiritual harmony, reflecting nature's perfect balance. The Koru is often carved with interwoven fronds, representing the bonds of family, friendship, and love.
The sacred stone of Aotearoa. Pounamu of this beautiful land encompasses nephrite jade, serpentine, and tangiwai (bowenite). To the Māori of New Zealand, Pounamu (greenstone) is more than just a stone, it is a taonga (treasure) woven into the spiritual and cultural fabric of their ancestors. Revered as a gift from the gods, it carries the mana (prestige) of the land and the strength of the rivers.
Pounamu is a gift from the heart and as such should be displayed with respect and pride.
