MARINUS

MARINUS - a bold and beautiful whale tail with koru pendant, carved in New Zealand Jade.

MARINUS - of the sea

One of the greatest ocean creatures immortalised in one of earth's greatest stones!

Anchored in legend, worn for the journey. Our MARINUS pendant, carved from solid jade, captures the powerful fluke of the whale - the king of our South Pacific seas. It is a guardian creature - ancient Māori lore speaks of whales guiding waka (canoes) to safety.

Now, this talisman carries that same protective spirit for all who travel, across oceans or into new chapters of life. Wear it as your own deep-water guide.

We have hand plaited a cord in Aquamarine and Pacific Blue - beautiful ocean colours! The cord is adjustable so you can position the pendant where suits you best.

The average whale can hold its breath for about 60 minutes, but some can stay down for over 2 hours on one breath! In these days we all need to hang in there waiting for things to look up - this little guy will support you through the deeper waters and bring you up to the light for a little fresh air.

The koru design is an integral symbol in Maori art forms. The spiral is a Koru, which represents the fern frond as it opens bringing with it new life and purity - a fresh beginning. It is a symbol of peace, tranquillity and spirituality.

The koru is also associated with nurturing, so is frequently used to represent the strength and purity of a loving relationship within a family.

MARINUS will be packaged in a woven kete pouch.
