This contemporary Kawakawa pendant features a bold, sculptural form with a distinctive heart inspired cut out design. The rich green tones of the stone are layered with soft cloudy textures and natural earthy inclusions, giving the piece depth, character, and a strong organic presence.
Carved from Kawakawa pounamu, known for its deep green colour and natural variations, this piece celebrates the beauty of the stone in a modern and expressive form. The flowing shape and carefully carved internal detail create a sense of movement, while the open centre adds lightness and symbolic meaning.
The heart-like centre represents connection, love, and unity, making this pendant a meaningful piece to gift or wear as a personal symbol of relationships and belonging.
