Description

This Koru Pounamu necklace represents new beginnings, personal growth, and the perpetual motion of life. Hand-sculpted with precision, each piece transforms ancient jade into a personal talisman that carries the spirit of Te Wai Pounamu (the South Island).
This taonga is not merely an ornament; it is a tribute to the enduring connection of the stone back to Papatūānuku (the Earth Mother), mirroring the unfurling silver fern frond as it reaches toward the light.
Sourced directly from the rugged riverbeds of the West Coast, these pieces are crafted by South Island carvers who link the raw power of the land with modern craftsmanship. These artisans maintain a direct lineage to traditional techniques used for centuries, with every piece authenticated by the Ngāi Tahu Pounamu verification system to ensure ethical and genuine origin.
Features
  • Genuine Pounamu: Hand-carved from authentic, 100% natural New Zealand Jade.
  • Cultural Significance: A traditional design embodying peace, harmony, and a fresh start.
  • Unique Artistry: Natural colour variations in the stone ensure your koru is one-of-a-kind.
  • Hand-finished: Polished to a smooth, tactile finish that is comfortable against the skin.
Symbolism & Meaning
  • New Beginnings: Inspired by the pitau (young fern frond), symbolizing a new phase in life or a fresh start.
  • Growth & Renewal: Represents the cycle of life, continuous growth, and the spirit of rejuvenation.
  • Peace & Harmony: The circular shape denotes a sense of calm, balance, and a deep connection to the natural world.
Care Instructions
To maintain the shine and spiritual integrity of your taonga, wear it often—the natural oils from your skin help nourish and "oil" the stone over time. Clean gently with warm water and a soft cloth. When not in use, store it in a special pouch to protect its surface.
