Pounamu Kaka Poria

Pounamu Kaka Poria  | Karaitiana Akroyd

Karaitiana Akroyd has created a striking and meaningful piece with this Pounamu Kākā Pōria.

Traditionally, a Kākā Pōria was a leg ring used by Māori to tether a pet kākā (parrot), but today it stands as a powerful symbol of connection and the precious bond between people.

The circular form represents an unbreakable link, carrying a sense of mana that honors the relationship between the wearer and their heritage or loved ones.

This particular carving features intricate, scalloped edges that give the stone a unique, textured silhouette.

The pounamu itself is a beautiful blend of soft mint and warm gold tones, making it feel like a fragment of the forest caught in light.

It comes on a hand-braided tan cord that stays secure and comfortable, perfect for a piece meant to be worn close to the heart.

Celebrate a special connection by making this unique treasure yours.
