GREENER DAYS - Hand Carved New Zealand Pounamu Koru Pendant
The Hei-Matau design represents abundance while the Koru represents love... GREENER DAYS is born!
Ric has used a remarkable piece of New Zealand Jade for this pendant. The real beauty of this stone is its consistent deep green colour. It is classed as pounamu because of the high regard that Māori have for this stone. They recognise its rare beauty and have long used it to make tools, weapons and jewellery.
GREENER DAYS is a beautifully carved and striking work of art. Ric is very generous with stone when he carves. This is particularly evident with this piece - it has plenty of depth and body, feels great in the hand, GREENER DAYS is a nice substantial pendant.
We provide this with a length adjustable Brown cord.
GREENER DAYS is a carefully thought through carving - the following history sits behind this pendant...
The Koru: the Māori word for 'loop'. The spiral shaped koru design represents an unfolding silver fern frond. The circular movement towards an inner coil refers to ‘going back to the beginning’. The unfurling frond itself is symbolic of new life, new beginnings, hope and rebirth.
The shape is streamlined, gloriously curved and quite unique. Take a look at the video and you will appreciate the artistry of this beautiful piece.
GREENER DAYS is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch and provided with an adjustable cord.
DELIVERY WITH EXPRESS IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE.
Also included, our 'Kia ora' cards, which explain the meaning behind the hook and koru designs.
