A gorgeous Heart Pendant carved in Kawakawa Flower Pounamu by Kerry Thompson, this piece shows separate but intersecting paths within the Heart, representing the intersection of many paths within our lives. This Greenstone is beautifully dark and dense with flourishes of Putiputi (Flower) which is such a wonderful contrast. Carved with incredible skill, and completed with a perfect polish enhancing the exceptional qualities of this taonga.
Heart
pendants are a timeless symbol of aroha (love), connection and appreciation in all its forms, from friendship and family bonds to romantic and enduring love. A pounamu heart pendant is a meaningful gift for someone special and carries a message of affection and remembrance.
Kawakawa- is the most common variety of Pounamu. It comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used for gem purposes.
Putiputi (Flower) Jade- is New Zealand’s most prized Greenstone, with pale green or ochre clouds of colour. This distinctive patterning and colouring come from the outside rim or 'rind' of the greenstone boulders or stones where the surface has oxidised.
