NZ Greenstone (Pounamu) Pikorua Koru Pendant

The Koru-Pikorua Greenstone Pendant combines two powerful symbols from Māori culture, the koru and the pikorua, to represent growth, unity, and the enduring bond between individuals.

The koru, inspired by the unfurling fern frond, symbolizes new beginnings, personal development, and harmony. 

The pikorua (twist), with its interwoven design, represents the strength of connections and the path of life, where two individuals remain connected regardless of distance or changes.

Hand-carved from genuine New Zealand Pounamu (greenstone), this pendant features smooth, flowing curves that showcase the beauty of the stone. Polished to a high gloss, the pendant is both elegant and meaningful, perfect for expressing the importance of personal growth and enduring relationships.

Pounamu is a natural stone, so slight variations in colour, shape, and size may occur. Additionally, the true colour may vary due to lighting conditions in our photos.

Care Guide

Pounamu naturally polishes and enhances its shine by absorbing the natural oils from your skin over time. This process brightens its luster and beauty. If necessary, you can gently clean your Pounamu with mild soap, but it's essential to avoid using strong chemical cleaners

Whether bone or pounamu, your taonga deserves thoughtful care:

• Wear often – It’s believed the energy of the wearer enhances the mana of the piece.

• Clean gently – Use a soft cloth and warm water. Avoid harsh cleaners.

• Avoid impact – While durable, natural materials can still chip or break.

• Store safely – Keep your taonga in a soft pouch when not in use.

• Respect its spirit – Many pieces carry cultural and spiritual significance. Gift or wear them with intention and aroha.

With care and respect, your taonga will remain a lasting symbol of protection, strength, and connection.
