A wedge of treasure
NZ Greenstone (Pounamu is the Maori name) is a hard, durable and highly valued nephrite jade found in the South Island of New Zealand. It is considered to be taonga (treasure) in Maori culture and is often presented as a special gift to visitors, for birthdays and to New Zealanders moving overseas.
The koru is a spiral shape based on the appearance of a new unfurling silver fern frond. It is an integral symbol in Māori art, carving and tattooing, where it symbolises new life, growth, strength and peace.
Natural, exquisite and completely unique, this piece of modern jade jewellery will make a stunning gift!
Why is this NZ Greenstone wedge necklace so wonderful?

- This long NZ Greenstone wedge necklace measures 7cm (2.75″) from top of pendant
