Ōnewa Large Pendant

Ōnewa Heart Pendant | Dean Marjoribanks & Shane Macintosh 

Experience the profound essence of Māori artistry with this exquisite Ōnewa Heart Pendant, a unique collaboration between master carver Dean Marjoribanks and engraver Shane Macintosh.

This cherished taonga is meticulously carved by Dean from Ōnewa (Greywacke) stone, sourced directly from the culturally significant Raukokore River in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, where Dean holds strong genealogical ties through his Te Whānau ā-Apanui whakapapa.

Inspired by pre-European Taonga Māori, Dean sees himself as part of a long line of carvers, bringing this ancient stone to life.

The heart's surface is then intricately engraved by Shane Macintosh, whose delicate handwork adds a layer of rich, traditional Māori patterns around the edge, beautifully contrasting with the stone's natural matte finish.

This pendant is more than just jewellery; it is a symbol of aroha (love), connection, and the enduring spirit of Aotearoa.

A truly remarkable piece that embodies a shared heritage and passion for carving.
