A wonderful Sterling Silver Ring with a claw setting displaying an oval Kahurangi Pounamu cabochon. This ring's design subtly thickens the width of the band to the point it joins the setting - 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.
