Ruakaraka Pendant

Ruakaraka Pendant | Dean Marjoribanks 

This cherished taonga is crafted from genuine Raukaraka Te Tai Poutini pounamu, a highly prized greenstone known for its unique olive-green hues and distinctive natural flecks, sourced directly from the revered West Coast of New Zealand's South Island.

 Dean, inspired by pre-European Taonga Māori and his Te Whānau ā-Apanui whakapapa, passionately shapes this native stone into a beautifully smooth, elongated bar form, allowing its inherent beauty to take center stage.

Dean sees himself as being part of a long line of carvers and artists, continuing a rich lineage.

Adorn yourself with a piece that embodies both masterful craftsmanship and ancestral narrative, carrying the unique spirit of Aotearoa.
