The Koru
is one of the most recognisable Māori symbols, representing new beginnings, growth, harmony, and renewal. Inspired by the unfurling frond of the native fern, the koru reflects the journey of life constantly growing while remaining connected to its origins.
This Inanga Koru features a beautifully rounded spiral with a smooth flowing inner curl, creating a strong yet elegant silhouette. The polished finish enhances the natural translucency of the stone, allowing light to move across the surface and highlight its soft tonal variations.
Inanga pounamu is often associated with calmness, clarity, and peaceful energy, making it a meaningful choice for those beginning a new chapter or embracing change. The koru shape adds deeper symbolism of continuous growth and lifelong learning.
This pendant represents renewal and connection — a timeless reminder of progress, strength, and personal evolution.
Koru- The Maori word for bright or loop. It refers to the shoots of the silver fern. The circular movement to the inner core refers to "going back to the beginnings". The unfurling frond itself is symbolic for new life, new beginnings, hope, personal growth, purity nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace.
Inanga- Pounamu takes its name from a freshwater fish native to New Zealand. It is pale and often transparent, like the young of the Inanga fish. It is pearly white to grey green in colour, and ranges from translucent to quite opaque. It can change colour over time, developing a light olive tint as it ages and oxidises - Highly prized by the Māori and the desired material for making Mere and Patu.
