These gorgeous earrings have been expertly handcrafted from Kahurangi Pounamu and finished with 9ct Yellow Gold findings. Enigmatic shades of green with subtle wisps of white, create a beautiful pattern in these wonderfully glossy earrings, making them a treasured 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 .
