This Quintuple Koru pendant is hand carved from Kahotea Pounamu, with soft green tones that shift into warm brown hues across the stone. The five Koru fronds are arranged with clear rhythm and balance, creating a strong sense of movement and continuity. Cleanly shaped and smoothly finished, the piece has a grounded presence that highlights the natural character and colour transitions of the Kahotea.
Koru- The Maori word for bright or loop. It refers to the shoots of the silver fern. The circular movement to the inner core refers to "going back to the beginnings". The unfurling frond itself is symbolic for new life, new beginnings, hope, personal growth, purity nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace.
