This stunning necklace features 25 round beads (16mm) and 2 round beads (12mm), all crafted from genuine New Zealand Kahurangi Pounamu. The beads are arranged on either side of a beautiful triple flower silver clasp. This special Pounamu was sent overseas to be especially made into beads for this unique, one-off necklace.
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.
Size 16mm and 12mm
