A breathtaking statement piece, this stunning Pikorua (Twist) Pendant carved by Jayme Anderson from the highest grade of Kawakawa Flower Pounamu is a wonderful example of excellent carving and fine Greenstone from Aotearoa New Zealand. This is a gorgeous work of art in stone and will be a treasured taonga.
Pikorua- Twist, The Maori single twist or Pikorua resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns. Representing the paths of ‘life and love’ or ‘friendship or eternity’. Because the Pikorua stands for infinite partnership, it makes it a perfect gift for lovers, newlyweds, fiancées, or others who want to emphasise their connection, their love for each other, their loyalty and friendship.
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 in gem purposes.
Putiputi (Flower) Jade- is New Zealand’s most prized 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.
