Moko Pounamu Genuine NZ Kahurangi Greenstone & 9ct Gold Ring - Kaipakirikiri
This beautiful Kahurangi Pounamu and 9ct Gold Ring features an oval-cut Greenstone cabochon stone in a bevel setting. The shoulders of the band leading from either side of the setting down the sides of the ring has been cast with a gorgeous repoussé-like effect - a really stunning combination of precious metal and Jade.
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.
