A fantastic Double Pikorua (Twist) expertly hand crafted from an incredible piece of Kahurangi Pounamu, set on a beautiful 9ct gold bail with 5 brilliant cut diamonds. An exquisite carving showcasing the pure beauty of NZ Greenstone.
Pikorua - Double and triple Twists, resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns. representing the paths of life and love or friendship and eternity. Double twists refer to the bond between peoples or culture rather than individuals - traditionally given as an offering of friendship between two different tribes.
Kahurangi- Genuine West Coast Greenstone from the Marsden, West Coast area .
Kahurangi is the rarest variety of pounamu. It is highly translucent and often comes in vivid shades of green. Small, feather-like markings in the stone can give a cloud effect – although to be classed as Kahurangi, this effect must not reduce the stone’s clarity. The word Kahurangi also indicates nobility and refers to precious jewels and held in high esteem by Māori .
