A gorgeous Inanga Pounamu and 9ct Gold ring, this beautiful piece has a clasp & bevel setting surrounding a large oval-cut greenstone caboshon, with filigree working around the setting and also on the band where the setting arches downward. A stunning taonga.
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.
