Moko Pounamu Flat Band Ring Genuine NZ Totoweka Greenstone - Kaitiaki

Bold in its simplicity, this flat band Pounamu ring is designed to highlight the natural beauty of the stone.

The wider profile gives the piece a strong, grounded presence, while the soft polish reveals the layered tones within the Totoweka Pounamu — deep greens, shadowed variations, and natural markings that move subtly through the band.

Pounamu has long been associated with strength, resilience, and connection, and when worn as a ring it becomes a constant, personal piece — something that sits quietly but carries meaning.

This ring is ideal for those who appreciate natural variation over perfection, offering a piece that feels authentic, enduring, and distinctly individual.

This is a one off piece and cannot be re-sized

Totoweka - This stone is usually like the mid green Kawakawa variety but differs in that the spotting or streaks are red like blood. It is rare to find Totoweka in the Westland jade fields, but when a piece is discovered, it is highly cherished and sometimes becomes the show piece of the fossicker’s collection. Large deposits of Totoweka occur in the South Westland area. The name comes from toto (blood), weka (Native bush hen) or weka blood. The red iron oxide inclusions were likened to the colour of blood of the Weka.
