POUNAMU MIST

POUNAMU MIST - Pounamu Matau Pendant

Carved from luminous, bright green jade, this matau (hook) pendant is a bold statement of craftsmanship and natural beauty. 

Made by Donna Summers, POUNAMU MIST is crafted from a distinctive piece of New Zealand jade, showcasing a striking interplay of colours and textures. The stone transitions between clear, pale green to areas of cloudy, striated inclusions in deeper greens and rich, reddish-brown hues. These natural variations lend depth and organic beauty to the piece, enhancing the fluidity of Summers’ design.

The smooth, undulating curves of the hook shape harmonise with the stone’s natural patterns, creating a sense of movement and balance. Meticulously buffed, the pendant highlights the jade’s lustrous surface and its raw, earthy complexity, creating a compelling wearable art piece. The jade’s polish enhances its natural glow, giving it a tactile, almost watery smoothness that asks to be touched.

The matau is a traditional shape reflecting the sea-faring traditions of Pacific People. Also called a hook these designs have long been worn as decorative jewellery. They are a symbol of prosperity and are believed to protect the wearer when travelling - especially over water.

We provide this with a four plait beige coloured adjustable cord. Also included, our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explains the meaning behind the Hook design.

Delivery with Express Courier is included in the price.
