Manawa Nui

A symbol of enduring love and connection, this exquisite heart-shaped pounamu pendant captures the harmony between modern elegance and the sacred artistry of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Hand-carved by an artisan at Sands Carving Studio in Hamilton, this pendant is crafted from genuine New Zealand greenstone, each piece revealing its own natural depth, tone and translucency. The highly polished finish enhances the stone’s mana, radiating warmth and timeless sophistication.

Wearable on either side, this pendant embodies a refined balance of European design influence and the ancestral spirit of Māori craftsmanship, a true heirloom of meaning, grace and authenticity.

Crafted at Sands Carving Studio, a collective of master carvers including Alex Sands, Yuki Tanaka, Samuel Potter, Michael Matchitt, John Mayo, Jeremy Walsh and Alicia Taylor. United in their passion for pounamu, they combine Māori heritage, exceptional craftsmanship and contemporary design to create taonga (treasures) that honour the land and culture of Aotearoa.
