This stunning ring, featuring an oval Kahurangi Pounamu stone in a 9ct gold clasp & bevel setting, has the band gorgeously embossed with a Takitahi weaving pattern. A captivating piece with the relief and texture on the band surrounding the clear and even green of this beautiful New Zealand Jade gemstone.
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.
Takitahi- this is a pattern from a Maori weaving technique for flax - a simple "over one, under one" process creating a plain or check pattern by alternating the crossing of the woven strips of flax.
