The Pekapeka is a sacred symbol inspired by New Zealand's native bat (Pekapeka). This ancient amulet serves as a guardian against unseen forces, offering protection by revealing hidden truths and guiding its wearer through uncertainty. Its design carries the essence of a watchful protector who sees what others cannot.

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.
