NEW ARRIVAL
GROUND ZERO - A place of untouched innocence - a rare and raw form of beauty.
This is a gorgeous, simple hook flawlessly carved. The stone is a wonderful dark, dark green Marsden jade.
This matau pendant was carved for us by Ric Moor. Ric's work is new to our collection and we're delighted to have it. He has been carving jade for many years and has passed on his skills to a lot of young carvers - many who have gone on to develop considerable skill in this old art.
GROUND ZERO is carved with his beautiful craftsmanship - it really is a faultless piece! He has finished it with a soft polish that glows and is gorgeous to handle. This is a pendant to wear all the time.
Ric tells us that he prefers this finish to the higher polish because, with time and wear, the pendant will adapt and change with the owners lifestyle and become a 'better' piece. Well if this becomes better it will be pretty amazing because it beautiful right as it is!
Watch the brief video we have made of it slowly revolving. It might help you imagine how this piece will make you feel when you slip it over your head.
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.
