In some cultures the Hammerhead is believed to protect swimmers and fishermen from the Great White! Whatever you believe this is a beautiful stylised jade shark - made to wear anytime and all the time!
Crafted from exquisite New Zealand Marsden jade, this beautiful pendant captures the sleek, powerful elegance of the hammerhead shark. The smooth, flowing lines of the design highlight the shark’s distinctive silhouette, and the deep green hues of the jade evoke the mysterious depths of the ocean.
Revered as a symbol of protection and intuition, the hammerhead shark is a guardian of the seas - fierce yet graceful, embodying strength and balance. As a keystone predator, it plays a vital role in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems, ensuring the harmony of ocean life.
This is a wonderful tribute to nature’s wisdom and resilience, a reminder of the hammerhead’s enduring presence in both myth and the wild. A timeless piece, shaped by the artistry of the sea and the enduring beauty of Marsden jade.
RIPTIDE - jade art carved for us by Kyohei Noguchi. The best way to appreciate this work is to watch the brief video we have taken of it slowly revolving. Look for the lighter coloured layering in the jade and the slight colour variations - these are the things that make this piece unique.

A little about the twist....
The twist symbolises an unbreakable friendship, a bond that has no beginning and no end. It reflects the natural ebbs and flows that occur in any relationship without breaking the bond.
We provide this with a four plait black adjustable cord. Also included, our 'Kia Ora' card, which explains the meaning behind the twist design.
RIPTIDE is lovingly packaged in a woven kete pouch.
