Hand carved from genuine New Zealand Kahurangi Pounamu, this exquisite Double Pikorua celebrates the beauty of enduring connections. Revered as one of the finest grades of pounamu, Kahurangi is prized for its remarkable clarity, luminous colour and silky polish.
This exceptional pendant showcases a stunning natural transition from glowing golden amber to soft olive and vibrant emerald green. As light moves across the stone, each twist reveals new depths of colour, creating a sense of movement and life within the pounamu itself.
The Double Pikorua is a powerful Māori symbol representing two lives forever intertwined. It reflects the strength of love, friendship, family and partnership, reminding us that meaningful relationships remain connected no matter where life's journey leads.
Finished to a brilliant polish and suspended from an adjustable brown braided cord, this elegant pendant is a timeless expression of craftsmanship, culture and nature.
Pikorua- Double and triple Twists, resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns. representing the paths of life and love or friendship and eternity. Double twists refer to the bond between peoples or culture rather than individuals - traditionally given as an offering of friendship between two different tribes.
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.
