This beautiful ring has an oval Kahurangi Pounamu stone set in a Sterling Silver claw setting and ban. This setting has a wonderful channel flowing from the setting onto the band, with finely finished claws around the greenstone cabochon.
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.
