A beautifully carved Kokopu pounamu koru pendant featuring a soft blend of pale green and warm honey tones. The smooth, flowing koru design represents new beginnings, growth, and harmony, while the gentle colour transition gives the piece a natural, almost luminous quality. The polished surface enhances the stone’s subtle variations, allowing light to move across it with ease. Understated yet expressive, this piece offers a calm and balanced presence. A unique taonga that carries both meaning and quiet beauty, perfect for everyday wear or thoughtful gifting.
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.
Kokopu- Greenstone from the West Coast Taramakau River area, West Coast. Comes in many colour variations from light to dark browns, creamy whites, light blues, olive greens to yellow even golden. Also known as trout-stone named after the dark brown, olive green and yellowish markings found on the three species of native freshwater trout. The spotted textures and range of colour give this stone a diverse presence.
