This larger Pikorua is hand carved from Kawakawa Flower Pounamu, showing dark green tones with soft Putiputi (Flower) patterning moving to the edge of the piece. The single twist is smoothly shaped, giving the piece a strong flowing line and a sense of connection and balance. Finished with a fine polish, it has presence, warmth, and a refined feel.
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.
