Exquisite Large Koru Pendant in Rare Nelson Nephrite Jade
LIVE FREE is meticulously handcrafted from rare blue-grey nephrite jade sourced from Nelson, New Zealand. The raw stone was discovered by the artist when walking in a river valley close to his home - clearly they were meant to find each other! Renowned for its striking chatoyant shimmer and profound depth of colour, this stone differs from ordinary nephrite. It produces a mesmerising interplay of light and shadow that evokes the serene beauty of the landscape it comes from.
Crafted by Kyohei Noguchi, this piece has a substantial, luxurious heft, the koru’s generous size and fluid, spiralling form radiates strength and elegance, perhaps a testament to the harmony of nature and human creativity.
LIVE FREE - a mantra etched into the soul of this piece. Just as the koru unfurls into new beginnings, this carving will inspire its owner to live authentically, unapologetically, and with unwavering presence.
Handmade in New Zealand with respect for tradition and the natural world, LIVE FREE invites you to own a fragment of something outside the ordinary. A piece that speaks to the heart, stirs the spirit, and stands as a testament to living freely, boldly, and as yourself.
