Moko Pounamu NZ Inanga Greenstone & Sterling Silver Earrings - Te Marama
This stunning collection features handcrafted New Zealand Inanga Pounamu set on Sterling Silver findings. The simplistic design compliments each piece and lets the Greenstone speak for itself.
Inanga – This pounamu takes its name from a freshwater fish native to New Zealand. It is pale and often transparent, like the young of the Inanga fish. It is pearly white to grey green in colour, and ranges from translucent to quite opaque. It can change colour over time, developing a light olive tint as it ages and oxidises - Highly prized by the Māori and the desired material for making Mere and Patu.
