The Koru, shaped like an unfurling fern frond, embodies new life, growth, and infinite possibilities. Its gentle spiral carries a deep sense of peace and spiritual harmony, reflecting nature's perfect balance. The koru is often carved with interwoven fronds, representing the bonds of family, friendship, and love.

The heart, or manawa, is a universal symbol of aroha (love), friendship, and the life force that binds us together. A beautiful Māori proverb says - "He aroha whakatō, he aroha puta mai - If kindness is sown, kindness you shall receive."

The sacred stone of Aotearoa. Pounamu of this beautiful land encompasses nephrite jade, serpentine, and tangiwai (bowenite). To the Māori of New Zealand, Pounamu (greenstone) is more than just a stone, it is a taonga (treasure) woven into the spiritual and cultural fabric of their ancestors. Revered as a gift from the gods, it carries the mana (prestige) of the land and the strength of the rivers.

When worn close to the skin it absorbs your wairua (spirit); over time its lustre deepens along with the bond between wearer and stone. Pounamu is a gift from the heart and as such should be worn or displayed with respect and pride.

Comes with an adjustable cord and a jute draw string bag
