Handcrafted from Kawakawa Pounamu, this Koru pendant features rich green hues with subtle grain and semi-translucence. The carver has balanced the Koru form wonderfully and the fine polish reveals the natural beauty and character of the Greenstone - a beautifully finished taonga.
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.
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.
