A gorgeous half-shield shaped pendant, made from a piece of New Zealand Pounamu. Hand carved by Ric Moor.
SHINE ON ME - we love the jade, the carving and the exquisite craftsmanship! The stone used for this piece is a lovely, translucent totoweka - prized for the hints of red captured in the green jade. Here, the mineral inclusions present as ethereal cloud-like forms floating in the stone. Depending on the background it is worn against, the colours in this piece change - it responds to your dress and captures your mood!
Rooted in the ethos of shielding and safeguarding, SHINE ON ME serves as a talisman of protection, grounding its wearer with strength and balance. This piece is not merely ornamental, it is a powerful emblem of defence and safety, crafted to inspire and protect in equal measure.
SHINE ON ME is a gorgeous semi-translucent green, polished to a satin sheen. A wonderful display of New Zealand pounamu. The last photo is backlit to show how wonderful the Jade is.
Much like us, each piece of Pounamu has its' own 'DNA', its' own structure and special features that make it unique. This provides challenges, and opportunities for the carver. This is where the artists' creativity must be matched with a technical carving skill - wonderfully achieved by Ric Moor in this piece...
