This lovely ring has a Kahurangi Pounamu stone set in a Sterling Silver clasp setting which curves wonderfully around the greenstone cabochon. The band is skillfully designed to arch like a ribbon around the setting at the top of the piece - a marvelous 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.
