A gorgeous Artistic Leaf with a delicate Koru handcrafted from a rich piece of Kawakawa Pounamu. This contemporary Leaf design has part of the front of the piece descending to the Koru frond finished in a matt finish, giving way to a higher satin polish over the rest of the face of the piece. A truly unique taonga.
Koru- The Maori word for bright or loop. It refers to the shoots of the silver fern. The circular movement to the inner core refers to "going back to the beginnings". The unfurling frond itself 700is symbolic for new life, new beginnings, hope, personal growth, purity nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace.
Kawakawa- is the most common variety of Pounamu. It comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used for jewellery purposes.
