UNIQUE GREENSTONE JEWELRY BY ARTISTS OF NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand and Polynesian greenstone jewelry are beautiful works of wearable art. When worn with respect or given with love, Greenstone Jewelry is believed to take on part of the spirit of the people who wear or handle the jewelry, and the greenstone becomes a spiritual link between people to span time and distance. Greenstone Jewelry and pendants that have been worn over many generations are said to contain the spirit of many people, so are considered a powerful and great treasure.
Our Greenstone Jewelry range includes traditional Maori designs to modern, unique pieces from New Zealand artists. Greenstone is also called Ponamu by the inidgenous Maori people of New Zealand. Each piece of ponamu greenstone jewelry is hand crafted by local artists so even if following the same design, no two pieces will ever be exactly the same. The unique Mother-Of-Pearl necklaces can also be designed and hand made especially for you, telling your story through traditional carved styling.
The significance of ancient crafts such as Greenstone jewelry-making to the Maori people is shown very well in the highly recommended hit movie Whale Rider. Similarly, the cast and crew in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy also adorn NZ jewelry, showing just how powerful these kiwi treasures are when worn by people who are connected to our land Aotearoa... or in their case Middle Earth.
Every piece of Greenstone jewelry purchased through NZ Pacific is presented with a braided or platted waxed braid cord, along with native flax bag woven to show the traditional styling and beauty of the jewelry. Also supplied is an attractive information sheet telling the meaning of the Greenstone jewelry.
All prices include free international insured shipping to USA, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, China, and rest of world.
