PARĀOA - beautifully carved whale pendants, hand-crafted from Jade.
PARĀOA - giant of the deep
We have designed these gorgeous little pendants to pay homage to these gentle giants of the deep. They are a wonderful, smaller piece that replicates a sperm whale breaching the water's surface.
Here in the South Pacific whales are treasured as bringers of good and joy and if you have had the opportunity to observe them in their natural habitat you will appreciate their gentle nature.
Physiologically they have things in common with humans - spindle neurons in their brains, similar to ours, that are involved in social conduct, emotions and certain nurturing behaviours - perhaps that's why we feel such an empathy for these magnificent creatures of the deep.
PARĀOA is delivered packaged in a woven kete pouch.
We deliver this on a hand-plaited, adjustable cord; please use the dropdown menu to select the piece that you would like.
Please note - the photo shown in the hand is for a rough size reference only.
