This stunning 18ct Gold ring features a large oval Kahurangi Pounamu cabochon in a bevel setting which has a beautiful clustered feature to one side. The outer part of the setting is ridged to form a perfect showcase for the gorgeous gem-grade Kahurangi greenstone at the heart of this wonderful taonga.
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.
