This Kuru (Drop) pendant has been hand carved from Kawakawa Pounamu, displaying the stone’s brighter green tones and some small lighter features across the piece. The form is sleek and refined, with gentle notches adding balance and a contemporary touch - an elegant piece of New Zealand jewellery.
Kuru/Drop- Drop pendants are regarded as touch stones for meditation and representing a connection to the whenua (the land) Aotearoa (New Zealand). The Kuru design is a simple slender length of pounamu worn to encourage knowledge, confidence and independence.
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.
