Onewa Manu

Onewa Manu | Kawakawa Stone

Operating out of their Whanganui studio, Madelyne Gourdin and Nick Spicer Balme of Kawakawa Stone blend world-class technical skill with a deep, personal respect for the materials of Aotearoa.

This Onewa Manu is a striking, contemporary take on a traditional form that feels both strong and deeply connected to the land.

Carved from dense onewa (basalt) stone, this piece features a sleek, matte finish and a central spiral that symbolises new life and personal growth.

The manu (bird) form traditionally represents a messenger between the physical and spiritual worlds, offering guidance and protection to the wearer.

It is a grounding taonga designed to be worn every day, serving as a powerful symbol of resilience and enduring strength.

A beautiful companion to keep with you on your daily journey.
