CLOSE ENCOUNTER

CLOSE ENCOUNTER - hand carved whale tail pendant

Our 'CLOSE ENCOUNTER' pendant is crafted from beautiful flower jade and celebrates the unique beauty of a life fully lived. One side of the fluke bears a distinctive, sculptural shape - a permanent marker of a past challenge met and overcome.

This slight asymmetry tells a powerful tale: of an injury survived, a hardship endured, and a journey continued with unwavering strength. It transforms this magnificent creature into a unique individual, a testament to the fact that our scars don't diminish our beauty - they make us profoundly unique and tell the story of our resilience.

Like the whales of legend who protected Māori voyagers, this pendant is a powerful guardian symbol for your own journey. It serves as a personal reminder that our challenges shape us, but they do not define us. We emerge not broken, but bountiful - marked by our experiences and more magnificent for them.

Wear 'Close Encounter' as a badge of honour, a talisman of perseverance, and a celebration of the unique and unbreakable spirit that resides within you.

CLOSE ENCOUNTER is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.

We will ship this large piece on a hand plaited oat, adjustable cord.
