GATEKEEPER

GATEKEEPER – jade matau pendant

The transformation from rugged stone to this striking piece was as remarkable as the carving itself.

We ADORE this matau - its sleek curves, buttery-smooth finish, and commanding weight make it a true standout. Attention to detail along the inner edge of the hook adds an unexpected refinement, perfectly balancing the pendant’s bold, substantial presence.

A versatile design that suits every style, from the free-spirited adventurer to the urban minimalist.

Crafted for those who appreciate:

Uncompromising quality – Each contour polished to perfection
Contrast in design – Strength meets delicate artistry
Timeless appeal – A hook that feels both ancient and contemporary

The Stone: Carved from premium pounamu, its deep, swirling hues tell a story of rivers and time.

The Feel: Substantial in hand, effortless to wear - like a talisman you’ve carried for years.

For the wearer who: Doesn’t just follow paths but creates them.

This lustrous matau pendant was carved for us by Donna Summers.

GATEKEEPER is bound with a Black, length adjustable cord which perfectly complements the deep green jade. 

GATEKEEPER is carved with Donna's beautiful craftsmanship - it really is a faultless piece! She has finished it with a soft polish that glows and is gorgeous to handle.

A pendant to wear ALL the time. 

Watch the brief video we have made of it slowly revolving. It will reveal all the angles and subtle variations in colour.

The Hook - Matau:  the wearer of a Hei-Matau is seen as a provider and protector who is strong willed and determined to succeed in life - what a lovely sentiment to gift to someone important to you.
