These tapered rod earrings are hand shaped from Marsden Flower Pounamu, gradually widening toward the base to create a soft, flowing silhouette. The warm green tones and golden Putiputi patterning bring brightness and natural depth to the design, while the Sterling Silver hooks keep the look clean and contemporary.
Marsden Flower Pounamu- from the Marsden, West Coast area. The centre of this stone is a highly translucent, light-ish green shade, free from dark spots and other flaws. One of the rarest varieties, held in high esteem by the Māori. The most prized Greenstone in New Zealand is Flower Jade, Greenstone with pale green or ochre clouds of colour. This distinctive patterning and colouring come from the outside rim or 'rind' of the greenstone boulders or stones where the surface has oxidised.
