This stunning ring has been handcrafted from a large oval-cut Kahurangi Flower Pounamu stone with a Sterling Silver bevel setting and band. The beautiful Greenstone shows Putiputi (Flower) to the edge near the bevel and the band size is perfectly balanced for this statement piece. A gorgeous taonga.
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.
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.
