Moko Pounamu NZ Inanga Greenstone & Sterling Silver Earrings - Hokau
This stunning collection features unique handcrafted New Zealand Inanga Pounamu set with Sterling Silver hooks. The simplistic design compliments each piece and lets the Greenstone speak for itself.
Inanga- Pounamu takes its name from a freshwater fish native to New Zealand. It is pale and often transparent, like the young of the Inanga fish. It is pearly white to grey green in colour, and ranges from translucent to quite opaque. It can change colour over time, developing a light olive tint as it ages and oxidises - Highly prized by the Māori and the desired material for making Mere and Patu.
