These Kahurangi Pounamu & Sterling Silver earrings are hand shaped with a Koru carved through the pieces which adds a gentle sense of flow to the design. The clean shaping keeps the form light and contemporary, while the natural green tones of the stone give subtle character.
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 .
