This Sterling Silver ring features a large, deep green Kawakawa Pounamu cabochon, hand set in a refined claw mount that allows light to enhance the stone’s natural depth and sheen. The elegant split band design adds balance and flow, beautifully complementing the Greenstone’s smooth polish and rich tone - a timeless and graceful taonga.
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 for gem purposes.
