Moko Pounamu Genuine NZ Inanga Greenstone & Sterling Silver Ring - Awamoko
This stunning ring features a beautiful dome shaped, oval Inanga Pounamu stone which has been set wonderfully in a Sterling Silver bevel setting and band which features delicate Koru details on either side of the setting.
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.
