Koru Pounamu

Koru Pounamu  | Alex Sands

Carved from a powerful piece of New Zealand greenstone, this pounamu pendant is a testament to both the beauty of the land and the hand of the artist.

The stone is meticulously shaped and polished into the elegant koru spiral, bringing out its unique colour and veining. The koru, a shape inspired by the unfurling fern frond, symbolises new beginnings, growth, and harmony.

The top of the pendant is attached to a traditional woven rope, a time-honoured method that not only secures the stone but also celebrates ancient artistry.

This piece represents a new journey and the continuous cycle of life, much like the fern frond that slowly opens to new life.

This unique piece is a treasured taonga, a beautiful link to Aotearoa's spirit, waiting to be worn.
