This beautiful Heart pendant is hand carved from Kawakawa Flower Pounamu, featuring mild green tones lifted by Putiputi patterning across the stone. The double Koru motif brings a sense of rhythm and balance, adding graceful movement to the form. A thoughtfully handcrafted piece with warmth, softness, and a naturally expressive character.
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.
Koru- The Māori 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.
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 in 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.
