A striking statement piece featuring a generously sized Inanga pounamu cabochon, set in warm 9ct gold. The stone displays beautiful soft green tones with a gentle translucency, allowing light to move through it and highlight its natural depth. Its smooth, rounded form enhances the calming, organic quality that Inanga is known for. The bold yet refined setting showcases the stone as the true centrepiece, creating a piece that feels both luxurious and timeless. Designed to be worn and admired, this ring is a standout taonga that carries quiet strength and elegance.
Inanga- 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.
